A court stenographer argued that because she had to wear pantyhose with her skirts and dresses to work every day, she should be able to deduct them.
She believed that the since she would never wear pantyhose outside of work they should be deducted as a business expense.
But because the hosiery is still deemed suitable for other uses besides stenography, her tax preparer Bob Fodera, a partner at ParenteBeard, didn't allow her to claim the cost of her tights on her taxes.
