The problem is that if you get audited by the IRS, the agent will look at that item and say that the sunglasses can also be used outside of work. Also with the IRS you are guilty unless your prove yourself innocent. I guess if you can show them that you bought a non polarized pair for work and left them in your flight kit and you bought another pair for you car, maybe they would allow it, but IRS Agents are like FSDO's, they don't always agree. One may allow it, another may not.
In my mind it's not even worth trying. A $100 pair of sunglasses will get you back 20 something if you don't get audited. If you do get audited, you may owe back tax, penalty and interest.
Also, just because someone prepares your taxes for you, does not mean you are not responsible for what you claim as deduction. It's still your signature on the return.
