Nearly 700,000 taxpayers claimed almost $2 billion of ‘other’ expenses including non-allowable items such as dental costs, child care, and even Lego sets.

Assistant Commissioner Karen Foat said that a systematic review of claims had found, and disallowed, some very unusual expenses. “These claims add up to a lot of money. If the deduction isn’t directly related to earning income, we can’t allow it.”
