Question
I paint houses, can I write off the clothes I wear to do this since I'm constantly getting paint and primer on them?
AI accountant’s answer:

Absolutely! As a house painter, you can deduct the cost of work clothes that aren't suitable for everyday wear. This includes items like overalls, gloves, and boots that get covered in paint and primer. Just remember to keep your receipts as proof of purchase. However, if the clothing can be worn outside of work (like a regular t-shirt or jeans, even if you wouldn't want to), it's not deductible. The IRS specifically excludes clothing suitable for street wear.

Not Correct.
