Viagra for a woman

tax deductions womens viagra

Apparently Viagra isn't only for men, one IRS auditor discovered.

A woman was being audited over the tens of thousands of dollars she claimed in medical costs for her fertility treatments. As the auditor was looking through all of her documentation and records, he spotted a prescription for Viagra and was convinced it was for the woman's husband -- something she wouldn't have been allowed to deduct it.

The auditor and Kubey, the tax preparer, argued about the intended use of the Viagra for a while, until Kubey put the ball in his court.

"I picked up the phone and said, 'Do you want to call this woman, who has spent thousands of dollars trying to conceive a child, and ask her about this prescription for Viagra?"

He didn't.
