Medical expenses are part of the itemized deductions use on Schedule A.
- If you
itemize deductions, you will be able to take total medical expenses that are greater than:
- 10% of
your adjusted gross income if you are under age 65; or
- 7.5% of
your adjusted gross income if you are age 65 or over (born before January
2, 1951).
