Just because you bring your pooch along on a work trip doesn't mean you get to deduct their airfare as a business expense.
That's what one woman attempted to do, saying she doesn't like to travel without her beloved dog, said New Jersey CPA Gail Rosen. The client also tried to deduct the cost of a pet sitter for when she couldn't take her dog with her.
To the woman's dismay, Rosen disallowed all of the deductions before they could get to the IRS.
