How to deduct your clothing and laundry bills

January 8, 2015

When tax time rolls around it feels as if Uncle Sam wants to take everything you have . . . even the shirt off your back.

But there’s a totally legal way to strike back . . .

Deduct the cost of that shirt on your back, plus all the clothes you wear for your job. And while you’re at it, deduct laundry and dry cleaning expenses too!

I’m not kidding. If you follow IRS guidelines, you can deduct all these expense perfectly legally.

Want to come spotlessly clean to the IRS? Read my new article titled Deduct the Shirt off Your Back—Yes, Here’s How You Can Legally Write Off Your Clothing and Laundry Expenses!

Three ways our fact-filled article can help you:

  1. You’ll learn how to save a nice chunk of money. Let’s say your qualifying work clothes cost $500 and dry cleaning costs you an additional $200 a year. You can deduct the entire $700 expense! You’ll get all the details when you read the full article.
  2. We’ll list the three requirements Uncle Sam insists on. To qualify for your deductions, your work clothes will have to meet three criteria. You’ll know at a glance if you’re entitled to the deductions when you read the full article.
  3. You’ll learn why you’re in luck if you pay for your employees’ uniforms. When you provide work clothes for your employees, or reimburse them for their expenses, you can deduct the cost as an ordinary and necessary business expense, regardless of whether you meet the three requirements above. But there’s more you need to know as you’ll learn when you read the full article.
