On a side note. The Mileage rate just went to 48.5 cents per mile on January 1. During 2006, the rate was 44.5 cents per mile.

Hey, feel free to disagree. I'm just an accountant.
2007 U.S. Master Tax Guide by CCH Publishing (The tax bible as far as many accountant's are concerned) "The cost and upkeep of a uniform, including laundering and cleaning, are deductible only if the uniform is required as a condition of employment and is not adaptable to general wear."
The pants may be ugly but I'd lay odds that the IRS will find them to be adaptable to general wear. It's not how you use it; it's how it can be used.
