Quick internet search seems to be that suits and dress clothes are not tax deductible. I usually wear suits / formal clothes. However with telemedicine I've been doing more of a top half professional look. Which has opened up Pandora's box for comfort.
I'm in need of reinvesting and freshening up my professional wardrobe, but I loathe to drop the money on new suits and dress shirts. I dipped my toes in the area of customized tailored suits, and after experiencing the comfort of those over off the shelf suits its hard to go back. Greater range of motion and less tight spots. Current expense is tentatively several thousand...
So the point of this thread is to explore, how to get the tax deduction in work clothes. I believe scrubs can count. But the questions are, would you wear scrubs for outpatient Psych? Are there any nice options out there that look more professional and could be viable for outpatient psych? Or are there other unique 'uniform' clothes that could be professional, but yet be picked up by the business to get the tax deduction? Any links to viable 'uniform' options? Scrubs are the epitome of comfort and beat a tailored suit every time.
