Deductions & credits

@epagan17  I found a court case though that may help you in deductions.  Read it all the way through.

Generally, the courts apply an objective test in determining whether clothing is suitable for everyday use, and therefore nondeductible (Stiner v. U.S., 524 F. 2d 640 (10th Cir. 1975); Donnelly v. Comm'r, 262 F. 2d 411 (2d Cir. 1959)). Under an objective test, no reference is made to the individual taxpayer's lifestyle or personal taste; instead, adaptability for personal or general use depends on what is generally accepted for ordinary street wear. However, the Tax Court took into account a fashion professional's personal lifestyle and concluded that, based on that lifestyle, the high-fashion clothing she was required to wear while at work was not suitable for everyday wear (Yeomans v. Comm'r, 30 T.C. 757 (1958), nonacq.). At least one court has rejected the Tax Court's use of such a subjective standard (Pevsner v. Comm'r, 628 F.2d 467 (5th Cir. 1980), rev'g T.C. Memo. 1979-311).

then this is also saying no: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.leagle.com/decision/1980134074cotc126611248">https://www.leagle.com/decision/1980134074c...>
