19 Believe It or Not Tax Breaks
As you struggle with your tax return, trying to come up with some extra deductions to pump up your refund or reduce what you owe, don’t you sometimes think about taking a few flights of fancy?

Come on!
On the other hand, your fellow taxpayers have successfully claimed write-offs for many things that most of us wouldn’t even imagine, ranging from cat food to body oil used by a professional bodybuilder.
