Aquarium
A couple from Rock Hill, S.C., tried to deduct a $1,150, 75-gallon saltwater aquarium as a business expense. The problem? The husband was a self-employed stockbroker.
As a result, the court found the aquarium -- along with a Magic Chef electric range oven and the re-covering of a sofa -- to be personal expenses, and therefore not deductible.
