The issue with this one is not that she didn&#8217;t suffer from a medical condition, it is that there isn&#8217;t much of a connection between pepper spray and treatment of a heart condition. The pepper spray also can&#8217;t be considered to prevent disease because it didn&#8217;t actually prevent her weak heart condition. There just wasn&#8217;t enough of a connection between the pepper spray and her condition to justify the deduction.<\/p>\n<p>If you or someone you know is needing help with taxes, give us a call at 816-524-4949 or visit our website at www.Hoorfarlaw.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In another case of a denied medical expense deduction, a woman tried to apply the old maxim &#8220;an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure&#8221; by claiming that her pepper spray was a medical expense.
