We have all heard cases of strange failed tax deductions, such as writing off a personal racehorse as a business entertainment expense, a toothless actor being unable to write off his dentures, and our personal favorite a business owner who had his store burned by an arsonist, claimed the insurance as income, and tried to deduct the arsonists $10,000 fee as a business expense. Some people just dont know when to stop.

However, there are more than a few odd tax write-offs that do manage to pass IRS scrutiny, or are later approved by the Tax Court. They probably will not apply in your case, but who knows.

1. Addiction Treatment Certain types of addiction treatments may be written off under Medical and Dental expenses. Examples include smoking cessation programs (but not nicotine gum or patches), weight loss expenses that are related to specifically diagnosed diseases such as obesity and high blood pressure, and inpatient treatment for alcohol and drug addiction.

For the majority of taxpayers, addiction treatment expenses (along with other medical and dental expenses) may be deducted beyond the threshold value of 10% of your adjusted gross income (AGI).

2. Breast Implants While cosmetic procedures are not normally deductible, an exotic dancer successfully argued that her breast implants were a necessary part of her business, and that without the implants, she would lose income to other exotic dancers. Insert your own joke here.

3. Breast Pumps Is anyone sensing a theme? Breast pumps as well as other devices to increase lactation for new mothers are deductible as necessary medical devices.

4. Clarinet Lessons Clarinet lessons in general are not deductible, but if they are part of an orthodontists regimen to help deal with an overbite, they may be deductible as a medical expense. The way a clarinet is positioned in the mouth decreases the pain of an overbite. Both the cost of the clarinet and the lessons may be deducted.

5. Guard Animals If you use a guard dog or other animal to protect your property, you may be able to deduct some of the costs of caring for that guard animal. The Tax Court even allowed cat food to be deducted for a cat that was deemed necessary to a junkyard to keep it free of rats and snakes. Presumably, you would have a difficult time deducting a guard opossum or halibut.

6. Pet Moving Expenses Moving expenses associated with job relocation include the expenses of relocating your pet, and all of those expenses are deductible above-the-line meaning they reduce your adjusted gross income (AGI) and can be taken whether or not you itemize.

These expenses may not be much if your move is a relatively short drive but shipping your dog or cat across the country is relatively expensive not to mention transporting your horse.

Seven Unusual Tax Deductions

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) --

But spring really is coming, and with it, the rush to have that emerald green lawn.

Dr. Diane Lewis, an avid gardener and kidney specialist who says she "really knows water," wants us to think before we break out the weedkillers, fertilizers, and pesticides.

Since the enactment of the Clean Water Act, industrial pollution of the nation's waterways and drinking water has dropped dramatically.

Now, the big danger comes at home.

She points to a U.S Fish & Wildlife Service report, which shows that homeowners are the biggest danger to the nation's drinking water, that they are now using 10 times more harmful chemicals than farmers.

"Farmers know how to use them in the right proportions," says Dr. Lewis, whereas homeowners think more is better when it comes to weed and pest control.

A 2013 study from the U.S. Geological Survey found lawn and garden chemicals in every stream, river, and lake, and in about half of our well water.

She says, "We're at a tipping point with these dangerous chemicals."

"They don't just disappear," she added.

JEFFERSONVILLE, IN (WAVE) - A Louisville Metro police officer arrested in southern Indiana is facing domestic battery charges involving his wife.

A Clark County Sheriff's Office arrest report says an accident with injuries was reported at 11:53 p.m. Feb. 1 on County Road 403 near Ray's Lawn and Garden. While heading to scene the officer was told two people were fighting in the parking lot of the business.

[MUGSHOT ROUNDUP - February 2015]

Once at the scene, the officer found a man on top of Jonathan Osborne, 34, of Louisville, in an apparent attempt to hold him down. The man told police he intervened after Osborne assaulted Mrs. Osborne.

The report says Osborne appeared "very intoxicated" and smelled strongly of alcohol. He was placed in handcuffs before being checked by EMS for injuries.

The witness said his vehicle was behind the car containing Osborne and his wife heading west on County Road 403 when the Osborne's car made a sharp right turn and hit a parked tractor which struck the building.

When the witness and his passenger went to check for anyone injured, Osborne cursed at them. The report says Osborne then walked over to his own wife and punched her in the face before kicking her in the head after she was down on the ground. The witness said he got involved after Osborne started to choking Mrs. Osborne.

Osborne's wife told police the couple had left a Super Bowl party and she was driving the car. During the drive home, she said Osborne punched her in the face causing her to serve the car hitting the tractor.

We get asked this question alot. What are all these little bumps in my lawn? If you have bumps in your lawn its generallya good thing, as it indicates earthworm activity in your soil.

"Get our updates, free!"

Never miss a blog post again

Its a good thing what they do in that they are helping aerate your soil. This helpsimprove soil structure by relieving soil compaction, improving air circulation,moisture penetration and it also increases microbial activity, which in turn helps decompose thatch. Without boring you will all the othercompounding benefits, just know that worms are a good thing and any pesticides applied to your lawn will not effect them.

So what to do about all thosebumps you say? Well,the best way to approach it is to try not to put in too much effort. Youll always have earthworms and thats a good thing.So, by fertilizing your lawn and maintaining a good thick turf stand you help to mask the bumps in your lawn. If your turf stand isnt as dense as you would like it or you can see thecastings without having to pull away the grass then you shouldseriously consider an over seeding service to sew in more grass seed to help thicken your lawn. Having a good thick turf stand is beneficial in many ways. The more intense approach would be to stop into your local hardware or big box store and pickup a lawn dethatcher. De thatching your lawn in the spring time is always recommended before the green shoots start to rise. But, you can also do this at any time of the season. A lawn dethatcher has metal tines that flick and scrape at the grass helping to remove dead decomposing grass. It also can help break down those dirt castings and relieve some of the bumpiness. It may take several passes to get enough of them to meet your satisfaction.

NEVER ROLL YOUR LAWN!!! Rolling your lawn may seem to be a good idea in this case but it is definitely not. Rolling your lawn compacts the soil making it extremely difficult for turf grass roots to grow and pull in the nutrients and moisture they need. The only time wed recommend rolling a lawn is just after you seeded a new area. That would help drive the seeds into the soil. But you wouldnt be looking to compact the soil here so you would be using a light weight roller. Something that wouldnt do much for squishing the earthworm castings.

Taking the time to diagnose what is really going on with your lawn is the first step in protecting your investment for the longhaul.

If youthink you have some turf density issues andare currently on our regular lawn care program, GIVE US A CALL! Well give you some recommendations as to what your lawn or soil needs to get the lawn youve been looking for.

What would Ferguson have looked like if there had beenan Olivia Pope there?

Thats the question tonights episode of Scandal asks us to contemplate. A 17-year-old black man is shot by a white cop. The claim is that the man, Brandon, was going for a knife. His body has sat on the street in view of his neighbors for an hour. It all sounds eerily familiar, until Olivia is called in by the cops to help them handle the optics. And until Brandons father comes out, shotgun in hand, and stands vigil over his sons body until the cops answer for what theyve done.

Hes joined by a local activist, Marcus Walker, a Georgetown-educated young man whos come back to his community to strengthen it and protect it. Hes aggressive, hes spiky, hes absolutely right, and he has Livs number. You dont want justice. You want anger. You want outrage. You want retribution, she accuses him. Youre right. I do. So should you, he tells her. Walker offers Liv a foil at the start of this episode, deflating the trademark Pope rant before it can gain steam. He challenges her on her relationship to Brandons death as a black woman. Liv has spent most of this show, that weve seen, moving in circles where the power and money dynamics were far more consequential than a racial dynamic. For about a week straight, i thought Iwas a goner. I lived in complete and total fear, she tells David Rosen. Imagine feeling like that every single day of your life.

Olivia is also deeply dedicated to doing the right thing, so when she sees the police gearing up to obstruct the press and prep a riot squad to disperse the protest, she crosses the picket line. The fact that they stand in groups and say things you do not like does not make them a mob, she tells the police chief. It makes them Americans. Once its clear the cops care more about protecting their image than protecting the law, Liv is over it.

A knife is discovered on Brandons body, seeming to validate the cops story. The magic of Pope and Associates spy-team discovers proof that the knife was planted. This moment, as all Pope and Associates investigations, is a bit of idealized workthe perfect evidence, the missing piece. Its a fantasy for what we want in realitythe video camera that shows us exactly what was going on, who did what, an objective eye by which we can judge events. In this case, it exonerates Brandon, and gives closure to his dad.

In the end the question is answered, because this is TV, much more neatly than in real life. Officer Newton, when confronted by Olivia and the full weight of the Justice Department as represented by David Rosen, goes on a deeply incriminating rant. He uses the phrase those people, bemoans black on black crime, and makes claims about not getting respect. His colleagues in the DC police look on aghast. The Justice Department opens an investigation. Officer Newton is charged with a slew of crimes (but none of them murderlets not strain the suspension of disbelief too much).

In our reality, this week the DOJ released its report on the findings in the investigation into the shooting death of Michael Brown. In the report they detail their reasons for clearing Officer Darren Wilson of civil rights violations in his actions. In a second report, the DOJ broadly condemned policing practice in the city of Ferguson, citing systemic issues in both the local court system and the police department that led to blatant disregard of the law and of the constitutional rights of the areas residents, and racial bias in law enforcement.

The Ferguson reports are essentially a mirror opposite of Scandals denouement. On TV its easier to have a singular villain, to have the cop responsible be a closet bigot. Theres only so much you can do in an hour of time, and addressing the ingrained biases and racism of our legal system isnt easily one of them. (Heck, five seasons isnt necessarily enoughjust ask The Wire.) Its also not as neatly solved. Theres no answer, no neat wrap-up to systemic injustice, no satisfying resolution. Theres just the daily questioning of why this is the way things are, how they can be better.

Scandal tonight did about as fulfilling a treatment of this issue as you could hope for from an hour of TV. Even the trademark monologues are graceful, balanced, and frankly, more than usually touching. Officer Newtons rant is at once a dog-whistle for a raging bigot without being a caricature of a racist cop. Clarence Parkers speech about his son touches heartbreakingly on so many things the parents of young black men worry about. Does this storyline wrap up neatly, and in a way that seems like an aspirational fantasyand is it sad that Ive tagged a just arrest as aspirational fantasy? Yes. But Rimes is better able to express her feelings about it, as shetweeted tonight about this conclusion: We had a great deal of debate about this ending. Whether to be hopeful or not. It was really hard. In the end we went with what fulfilling the dream SHOULD mean. The idea of possibility. And the despair we feel now.
