Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi, 

Sorry to hear you suffer from Celiac Disease.  I did find this information from the Celiac Foundation about federal tax deductions.  Note, that you are advised by them to follow the steps below, and I stress that you want a physician's diagnosis and prescription and need to only claim the incremental cost of the GF diet (and keep good records).

Step-by-Step Guide

Step One: Get an official, written diagnosis from your physician and a prescription for a gluten-free diet. You will need to submit this form with your taxes, so make sure to keep a copy for your records.

Step Two: Save your receipts for your gluten-free groceries.

Step Three: Based on the list above, figure out what you can deduct and then start your calculations! You will need to calculate the difference between gluten-free products and non-gluten-free products from the grocery store.

Please cheer below if this helps and good luck with the management. I know it can be tough.
