Abstract

In O'Donnabhain v. Commissioner, a sharply divided Tax Court allowed a medical expense deduction for some costs related to sex reassignment surgery. This short commentary examines the opinions in the case and concludes that the taxpayer's victory rings hollow.

Keywords: transgender, tax, medical expense, sex reassignment surgery, hormone therapy, tax court
