Tax Deductions for Gluten Free Purchases

Did you know that Gluten Free food may be a tax deduction! Yippee is all I have to say!

-Any food that costs in excess (which is everything gluten free) of the food you are replacing can be used a deduction. The deduction is the difference between the regular cost and the GF replacement item. I haven't even ventured into figuring this out and plan to dedicate a day of my life to this task.

-The full cost of certain GF items are deductible if they are special items needed for a GF diet.

- Special trips to the store (I take them all the time) may result in a deduction for the cost of your trip. California, here I come!

-I suggest you get a doctor's letter stating that you have Celiac disease or gluten intolerance in case you are audited.
-I am not a tax expert by any means and this is not meant as tax advice. With that being said, please read my disclaimer below.
