We often have people ask if the purchase of a sauna qualifies as a tax deduction if a doctor writes out a prescription for one. Now that we are in the middle of tax season, this question will inevitably be asked more frequently. The short answer? We have no idea! Have people claimed saunas as tax deductions for medical reasons based on prescriptions issued by their physician? Yes, they have. Is there a simple way to detemine whether you can claim a deduction on the purchase of your own sauna? Not from our standpoint. Whether or not such a purchase would qualify in your case is 100% between you, your doctor and your accountant. However, since saunas definately provide health benefits, and since some people do get relief from specific ailments due to sauna use, it may be a subject you wish to explore with your accountant and physician. If you determine that the answer is “yes,” they we most definately encourage you to proceed with the purchase of an Almost Heaven Sauna, the sauna most suited for providing you a quality sauna with maximum health benefits!
