Imagining What Kim Kardashian’s Tax Return Looks Like

Whether you like her or not, Kim Kardashian made quite a bit of money last year. She also seems to want to keep a lot of her cash. Let’s imagine what her tax return would look like with all the possible deductions and credits she might want to claim. 

17. Botox

While most cosmetic surgeries are not tax deductible, anything having to do with looks is part of Kim’s “job.”

16. Lip injections

More plastic surgery she will never own up to. But it is her job to look her best.

15. Costly wedding

With the wedding being part of her show, it's also part of her job. So it's considered a work write off right?

14. Home office

Her entire home is her office. She may try to deduct the value of her home.

13. Butt implants

You know, the ones Kim K will never own up to. On an episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” Kimmy had her butt x-rayed to prove it was real. Does anyone really believe her?

12. Clothes

“Job-related expenses” are tax-deductible. Imagine claiming your outfits for appearances are job-related.

11. Hair cuts

When you change up your hair as much as Kim K, it has to be expensive. But it’s all in the name of beauty. And work.

10. Charitable donations

Kim once said, “Giving comes from the heart.” She did hold a charity auction on eBay, however only 10% of the proceeds actually went to charity.

9. Child credit

She has a kid now, why wouldn’t she take advantage of the child tax credit?

8. Childcare credit

Whoever thinks she doesn’t employ a nanny or two is crazy.

7. The domestic production activities deduction

This deduction applies to small businesses in the manufacturing industry. We’re guessing Kim K would claim her fashion businesses fall under this.

6. Savers credit

This credit is for individual tax returns, and allows you a credit if you save. Kim made a reported $85 million last year. We doubt she spent all of it.

5. Mortgage interest credit

Unless she bought her homes outright, why wouldn’t she claim the mortgage interest credit?

4. Mileage

She travels (by car and by plane) for appearances, which is her work. Technically, her travelling can be counted as work expenses, right?

3. Business use of car

When she’s driving herself, it can be considered a “business use of car.”

2. Real estate tax

She has property, so she’s likely to deduct the annual tax that most state and local governments charge on the value of real property.
