Hot Tub purchase as a tax write off?

<< < (3/3)

Chartreux:
The IRS is to be feared, in my opinion.  Dave is right they will not throw you in jail.

 However, something like a large hot tub will raise  "RED" flags. You should probably see if you can ask your doctor to state you have claustrophobia in your doctor's notes, as that will help. Still might be a huge gamble there on the write- off.

I do agree that a smaller tub might be of good value for you, Three that come to my mind are Marquis The Spirit.   The Hot Springs Jet Setter NXT and the Sundance Capri. All these are nice small hot tubs and you do have room in them. My husband is 6'2" and he rather like the Sundance Dover (Capri') I should say we both liked it (trying to keep hubby happy with what we decide) and found it very nice. Don't rule a small tub out, go and try a wet tests in one and check the size out.... I haven't bought a hot tub yet because I'm waiting to see if I can try out the Marquis The Spirit, having a hard time  as they just started selling Marquis and don't have the floor done yet which has been over three months and they've had the tubs not filled for two months now, waiting patiently... If the Sundance Capri had the microsilk tech on it that would've been a sale yesterday! done...sure hope the wait for the Marquis is worth it...(sorry my opinions)...

If you are a registered republican do not attempt the deduction. :'( If registered as a democrat go for it you will likely not be targeted. ;)

DaveMc:
Nice Richierich
With a name like that you must be a 2%'er---targeting of Republican or independent Hot Tubbers---I an sure is hi on the list of who to nail---along with any conservative---as long as the admin is full of criminals like today.

richierich:
My response was a joke, an attempt at humor. I don't get your response DaveMc. And no I am not close to being in the 1 or 2 % crowd. I wish that was the case.

However, if you do not pay sales tax on it then you might not get the Federal Income tax write off, as that could be called double dipping so to speak. Accountants are good for some advise, but sometimes they can miss lead you. Look over the 1040 forms and read them very carefully....Make sure your above the medical limit to write off for medical and this is getting higher and harder to do. Keep all receipts and make copies, make copies of your doctor's notes and if you do take off for medical send all this in with your 1040 as proof of having over the medical limit to deduct medical. We had one year over the medical limit and had proof and the IRS came in and readjusted our taxes without the medical...So if they do go over your forms you have documented proof even then they can readjust your taxes...it's not right but to sue the IRS is just too hard and you probably would lose in the end or give up....Taking medical expenses might also put up red flags for your taxes....just giving my opinions here...

In Texas I was able to save $1400 in state sales tax with a letter and prescription from my wifes chiropractor for our Marquis Epic spa. When you claim the medical expense on your taxes the amount will be minus the sales tax we did not pay. Its 8.25% here since we have no state invome tax. So every little bit helps.
