What Morrissey is focusing on, however, is the words of the IRS agent who turned down his IVF tax deduction.
The IRS agent noted that Morrissey's sexual orientation is a "choice."
Morrissey's lawsuit states, "Despite the IRS's backward and archaic thinking, plaintiff is not homosexual by 'choice.'"
Morrissey claims that the procedures "took nearly four years, seven IVF procedures, three surrogates, three egg donors, two clinics and more than $100,000.

Shouldn't be deductible for anyone of any persuasion. Having kids is a choice.
If you choose to partner with someone of the same sex being the same gender is no free pass to deductions.
