You can deduct expenses for your service animals as Medical expenses.
You can claim all medical and dental bills, prescription drugs and health insurance premiums paid out-of-pocket as Medical Expenses in Schedule A - Itemized Deductions
For tax year 2019, Medical Expenses are subject to the 7.5% rule and you can only claim the excess over 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income.
Please note that Itemized Deductions will only "help" when they exceed your standard deduction.
For 2019, standard deductions are:
For a taxpayer under 65, not claimed as a dependent
- $12,200 for Single
- $24,400 for Married Filing Jointly, or Qualifying Widow(er) with dependent child
- $18,350 for Head of Household
- $12,200 for Married Filing Separately
- If you are over 65 or blind, add $1,300 for each instance if married or add $1,650 each instance if single or head of household
In TurboTax, you can enter Medical expenses by following these steps:
- In TurboTax, open your tax return
- Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Deductions & Credits on top of the screen
- Scroll down to All Tax breaks, locate the section Medical and click on Show more
- Click Start next to Medical Expenses.
