Can I deduct clothing cost on my tax return?

I heard that clothes’ dry cleaning cost is tax deductible. Is that true?

Can I also deduct clothes purchases?

  • Dry cleaning costs while on a business trip and the cost of one dry cleaning of clothing after returning from a business trip is deductible. Clothes purchases are not deductible unless an employer requires you to wear clothing not suitable for daily wear (a uniform, company logo clothing)

  • Yes to cleaning IF you itemize AND the clothes are ONLY for work and have no other purpose. No to purchases.
