Thanks for the clarification about clothing. I was wandering about embroidering my company logo being considered as a deduction and you cleared that up. lol. You explained it well and you were very succinct.

Question 1: What if I buy a plain t-shirt and I iron on my business logo? Are both tax deductible or just the iron-on business logo?

Question 2: I buy a plain t-shirt that I ONLY use at my retail business store and I always have a pin button of my business logo on that shirt all the time. That shirt with the pin button stays in the store during closed hours. Is the t-shirt tax deductible?

I'm not trying to be funny, but these are real questions some women may have.

Can hair maintenance expenses be deductible when filming YouTube videos, doing photo shoots to make marketing content, or when interacting with clients? (for self employed consultants)

[roxyloraine]

This was very helpful; thank you! Are there any differences in the rules regarding whether the clothing is only being rented vs. purchased? Services such as Rent the Runway provide subscriptions to rent clothing varying from gowns to everyday attire.

So if I own a clothing brand and want to buy a competitor garment so I can analyze the quality the type of materials used stitching techniques and overall style it can't be deducted because I could wear it even though it might be essential to make sure we are no copying it to avoid lawsuits since we plan to do something similar?

[LauraHernandez-degj]

What if u own a business u have uniforms with logo and u wash them yourself. The washer breaks, can that washer be a deduction?

As a Flight Instructor who makes content/videos on Aviation, can I write off a new headset for flying? fantastic video as always! thank you :)

[ReallyBobbyRich]

so what if the clothing is given in exchange for advertisement and marketing wouldn’t it make it a expense that can be exempt?

[drockoe]

Do work jeans for construction worker count as a tax write off. Technically you could wear the jeans outside of work but I wouldn't because they're always dirty and have like grease on them or whatever

[nextdoor]

So if my job requires me to wear Nike clothes cause we sponsored by Nike is that taxable ?

[annieoakley]

What if you buy the a dress for a formal holiday business party and consign it?

[evos]

Clothing if it's not safety, company branded, or outlandish in general don't write it off.

Question: I will shortly be starting a handyman business. I'm having a hard time understanding that I cannot deduct either tops or bottoms when the very quickly become unsuitable for wear outside of work -- get torn, soiled with paint, caulk, etc, perhaps on the first day. I understand I they can be deducted if logo'd or have company name and that works for tops (t-shirts, polos, etc) but what about pants ? They don't usually logo pants. Thoughts ?
