Can a public speaker deduct clothing worn on-stage?
My wife is an independent public speaker, hired by clients to get on stage and give speeches to their employees. Can she deduct clothing that she wears on-stage as a business expense?
No. In order to deduct clothing as a business expense, it must be specialized clothing such as a uniform or something that she would not be able to wear somewhere else. If they can double as street clothes, a night out on the town or office wear, it would not be deductible.
