Clarinet lessons (yes, really)?! Let’s get flexie with your taxes!

This proves just how flexible the tax code can be if you have the right documentation to establish medical necessity. While clarinet lessons aren’t a usual deduction, it pays — or deducts — to think outside the tax box and doublecheck with us before ruling anything out.
