    Default to pay taxes and deductible items

    I'm sure that there is another thread out there, but I couldn't easily come across one to answer my questions.
    I live in Maryland,US (I don't know if the state makes a difference or not)
    I want to start dancing. Do I need an accountant the whole way through, and if not do I have to keep super up to the minute financial records? I want to do things right and legally. I would like to buy a house with my fiancee soon.
    Also I want to get implants. Is this something that is tax deductible as long as I am properly reporting. Some tax advisor on the plane told me it was, but I'm not sure still. Also he didn't have any background information.
    If it IS tax deductible can I get the implants and THEN dance. Or do I need to have a place of employment and THEN the implants. I wasn't sure if that made a difference either..or if they just needed to be within the same time frame of about a year.
    Thanks for everyone's help.

    you will probably benefit from an accountant, but you don't need one. I don't and my records are pretty easy. I save receipts for clothing, shoes and that's about it. I actually did get a boob job in 2006 and people that know what they are talking about will all tell you that they do not qualify as a business expense.

    Breast implants are not deductible unless they are extremely large (like 1000ccs or more.) There is a precedent set on this. If any tax preparer says that you can write them off, don't use him. He's wrong!

    ^^^ no joke actually ... I wrote off my 1600cc, 2500cc and 3750cc implants every time I 'upgraded', with absolutely no qualms from the IRS. But you're correct that attempting to write off 'housewife' sized implants under 1000cc is very likely to act as audit bait.

    If you're willing and able to go for 1000+ cc implants, all you really need to do is be in business for one night before your surgery in order to deduct the cost as a business expense ! In the grand scheme of things 1000cc implants really aren't all that big. However, most plastic surgeons will shy away due to ASPRS rules and malpractice insurance premium increases resulting from performing 'non-sanctioned' surgical procedures.

    Well I'm not sure what 1000ccs is like.
    I got the saddest/happiest news yesterday. I almost cried when I went to Victorias secret and went from a C cup to a B cup. I've been a C all my life. I've lost almost 55 pounds now, but still It's sad to see them go.
    On the up side, I've lost weight other places and I can always get implants!

    1000cc is a lot....most likely more than you want if you are a B looking to go C (or even D....that's what mine are when I went from B after getting a mere 400ccs)

    this girl got 1000ccs

    that's definitely not big enough to deduct. That's only around 400-500ccs.

    you could try to deduct anything, but just ask yourself if you're willing to prove it's for work, especially if you're not being 100% honest on your returns. In my opinion, it's like driving 10 miles over the speed limit when you are driving a stolen car. Don't draw attention to yourself.

    You're better off paying cash for it. Not that I would, of course, because that's illegal, but it's waaaaaaaaaay less risky than paying reported income and then trying to write it off as a business expense.

    What do you mean, paying cash is illegal?

    Paying cash in itself is legal, of course, but the implication (if you work a cash job) is that it never went above the radar and never officially existed. I was talking about using unreported income.

    I wrote my 675cc boobs off in 2004, and I have written off my hair extensions for the past 3 years as well. I haven't had any problems yet, but Emily IS right. I also set cruise control at 74 when the speed limit is 65.

    In Canada, you can right off a portion of any sort of cosmetic/plastic surgery as a "medical expense"
