CLARINET LESSONS
By Staff Reporters

In 1962, a parent was able to deduct the cost of their child’s clarinet lessons and the instrument itself, after they were prescribed by an orthodontist to fix the child’s overbite, according to a report by Boston University School of Law.
Unsurprisingly, it initially went to court, where it was ruled that it qualified as a legitimate medical expense (despite not being the most traditional treatment).
So, when it comes to the IRS, it’s not always about prescriptions or surgeries — sometimes, even clarinet lessons can count.
