Margaret CPA in OH Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Client sent me ahead of her appointment list of deductions. On medical, she lists chiropractor, acupuncture and Alexander. I called to ask about Alexander. She assures me it is a medically deductible procedure. I assured her that I did not see it listed anywhere but I would do research. One place I looked included it with Pilates which I doubt is deductible. I think I will stand by my insistence that she must have a physician's prescription before I would consider and then maybe. She will be here in about 45 minutes. I don't relish this as she is constantly trying to deduct everything possible. New LLC in 2012. 2013 - Income, $342. Expenses, $2076. Oh, and that's before the crucial OIH, of course. So Alexander? Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I think I will stand by my insistence that she must have a physician's prescription before I would consider and then maybe" is the correct position.

David1980 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'd put it in the same category as paying a personal trainer. There's definitely medical benefits to exercise. There may be medical benefits to the Alexander technique. But that does not turn it into a medical deduction. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
