Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, prescription medications are an eligible medical expense, whether you used insurance or not.

 

You can enter the expenses in TurboTax Online here:

 

  • Navigate to Federal > Deductions & Credits > Medical Expenses > Start or Edit
  • Enter all the expenses you have as you go through the categories
  • On the screen "How much did you spend on insurance premiums?" you can enter the health insurance premiums

 

Note that in order to claim medical expenses you must itemize deductions and only the expenses over 7.5% of your AGI are deductible.
