Margaret CPA in OH Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I don't see it listed but 80+ year old client with severe arthritis but still working! 3 days weekly at a clinic for the homeless mentally ill has $3000+ expense and $3000+ for acupuncture and $900 for physical therapy I see acupuncture listed as deductible but not massage. Maybe only if prescribed by physician? Thoughts on this appreciated because I think I'm going to get an argument... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaB Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 "Therapeutic massage medical deduction?" Boy, I hope so... Just kidding, I will do some looking. But I do have this crick in my neck... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margaret CPA in OH Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 The massages are for a specific medical condition, severe scoliosis, for this woman. She did have a physician's prescription. I asked when she came over so feel good about that. I wanted to be prepared for a, um, discussion, but the prescription took care of that. And the practioner is a licensed therapeutic massage professional. I need one now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I am SO with you there, Margaret. I could use a four-hour massage to get out all the accumulated knots of the past four months! That's not going to happen, though, so after next week (when I've gone and dug over my veggie garden and planted out the peas), I'll try to get a one-hour scheduled. Four times in a week! (I wish.) Just had a corporate-only (C-corp) tax client send me an email asking when his personal returns are due.... Catherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hey Catherine, don't forget the therapeutic head massage, too! I love that icon and think we are all experiencing that feeling 'bout now. Happy digging - I think I'll be back in June (same Concord client, widower now) looking for some fresh veggies. I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 If you're in the area, definitely give a call/email and stop by if I'm here and it's convenient for you! Catherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
