All The News For Atlanta Escorts.

The title of this piece might lead you to believe I’m going to wander down a crazy and bizarre path to get you to a story about how some nutty person took it upon themselves to apparently keep receipts from prostitutes or something like that and then later try to use them as tax write offs. You’d be correct in thinking that, as it’s pretty much what happened. It’s still a funny story though, so let’s look a bit closer.

William Halby, a 78 year old tax attorney, just found out that accurate record keeping will not make up for attempting to deduct sex, no matter what reason you give. In his case, Halby tried to deduct $120,000 in expenses, calling it medical expenses, on his federal tax return for money he spent on prostitutes and pornography. His basis for this claim was the benefits of sex therapy. You can’t argue with results, people. Except that you can. And a court did. And Halby lost the argument. Nice try, though.

Apparently Halby kept logs of dates, times and cost for all his prostitute visits and on his Schedule A he provided some vague details of what he was deducting, apparently at the time realizing his plan might have a better chance of succeeded if the term “blowjob” didn’t appear anywhere.

Halby’s claim covered two years, 2004 and 2005, during which time he spent $108,000 on prostitutes, which is fucking amazing, especially for a dude in his 70’s. There was an additional $7,000 spent on materials, which one has to assume is your standard condoms/lube/Viagra cocktail that any senior citizen spending $100,000 on prostitutes has to have at his disposal.
