Lose Weight - Get A Break

---------------------------------------- The American Obesity Association (AOA) wants to give new meaning to getting a deduction. Losing weight should get you a deduction. The non-profit advocacy organization is trying to change IRS policy to allow taxpayers to deduct repparttar 138521 cost of weight loss treatments.

The AOA and 10 other organizations (including Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, several pharmaceutical companies, professional societies, and consumer advocate groups) petitionedrepparttar 138522 IRS last year to reverserepparttar 138523 revenue ruling that includes weight loss among such other non-deductible categories as cosmetic surgery and health clubs, and until recently, smoking cessation programs.

Weight Loss Programs Should Get The Same Break as Smoking Cessation Programs

---------------------------------------- The AOA would like to see weight loss treatments included inrepparttar 138524 same category of allowable medical expenses like treatments for heart disease or stroke. According to Downey,repparttar 138525 IRS responded torepparttar 138526 petition last October by saying consideration would be given to reverserepparttar 138527 revenue ruling if facts were provided establishing either that obesity itself is a disease, or weight loss by an obese person could preventrepparttar 138528 onset of disease.

The AOA responded with an "exhaustive submission covering both of those bases," Downey says. "It almost gets torepparttar 138529 point, why did we ask this question inrepparttar 138530 first place, it's so obvious, but of course, it isn't, there's still a lot of misunderstanding about obesity."

The AOA wantsrepparttar 138531 reversal to allow deductions forrepparttar 138532 costs of comprehensive obesity treatment, including surgery, pharmacology, behavioral counseling, and programs forrepparttar 138533 specific purpose of weight maintenance and loss. Downey says he's "optimistic"repparttar 138534 IRS will rule in their favor based onrepparttar 138535 strength ofrepparttar 138536 evidence in their 58-page submission torepparttar 138537 agency.
