Show Learns His Dog's Bark Can't Stop That Tax Bite KANSAS CITY. Floyd Harvey, deputy collector of internal revenue, had trouble explaining to a taxpay. er that money paid to a veterinarian for care of the man's dog was not deductible from his income tax. The taxpayer insisted the dog belonged be-longed to his family, , was dependent depend-ent on the family, and that its medical medi-cal expenses should be deducted. Harvey explained: "Well, I'll put it this way: Just how is the dog related to you? Is it by blood, marriage, or adoption?" The discussion ended there. |
