Watching your wife pole dance may be a good way to unwind from a long day of work, but it hardly counts as a business-related activity in the eyes of the IRS.
Nevertheless, one man tried to write off the cost of his wife's pole dancing lessons as a business expense under "meals and entertainment." The man explained that watching her dance was his post-work relaxation and made him better at his job.
Wekherlien, at Tax Goddess Business Services, said she had to remove the deduction from his return, informing the man that the $800 he spent on pole dancing classes would be swiftly denied by the IRS.
Taxpayers can claim up to $13,360 for each child they have adopted in the past 6 years.
