Maternity clothes
$100-$500
Can You Write Off Maternity Clothes?
Short answer: No: maternity clothes are personal clothing even though you need them.
Medically required items like a support belt prescribed by a doctor can count.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
