CE courses, travel, licensing fees, malpractice, etc., are all now tax-deductible. I have a home
office where I do most of my paperwork, so I take a home office deduction and business miles
deduction. The office also pays for my home office furniture, computers, etc. The office also
pays for my home paper towels, air freshener (miscellaneous goods), camera, iPad, etc. Just a few
things I can think of off the top of my head. ■

Does any single practitioner out there have more than one car on his/her practice? ■

I've had situations where one doc, unmarried, has used three different cars for business ... all
legit! ■

Wow! Sounds like a stretch. I get the unmarried part. Would it be safe to say that if the doc
were married and he/she tried to put two cars on the business, that this would arouse suspicion,
or could this scenario ever fly? ■

Four-wheel-drive during winter months, probably about 30-40 percent business use; convertible during nice weather months, maybe about 30-40 percent business use; Corvette driven
to study clubs and local CE, very little miles put on it, at least 75 percent business use.
Hey, sketchy or not, if it's allowed by the tax code, you're entitled. If you prefer not to take
advantage of the written word in the code and pay more tax, that's your right. ■

Just because something is legal, doesn't mean it is ethical. Can't claim moral high ground
when it comes to treating patients but then do shady stuff like this. ■

Nothing unethical or shady about taking legitimate deductions. Tell me which items sound
"shady and unethical" to you? ■

A lot of these deductions are things that the IRS would have a difficult time proving. That
is what makes them legitimate. The deductions were designed for a specific purpose; people are
