Yes. If you did not itemize already, a good idea is to multiply your AGI by 7.5% and subtract that from your medical expenses. That will give you an idea of how much is usuable on Schedule A. Then see how many other deductions you have to add to it. That will give you a rough idea of what your itemized expenses would be in contrast to the standard deduction.
The standard deductions for
2018 are:
Single
$12,000
Married Filing Jointly
$24,000
Head of Household
$18,000
You can amend returns that have
been accepted by the IRS. If your return is pending, you won't be able to make any changes until it's accepted or rejected by the IRS. If you don't know your e-file status, we
can help you check it.
Be sure to
print out a copy (or save a pdf copy) before making any changes.
Select a tax year for specific
amending instructions.
Keep in mind: You have 3 years from the date you filed your return (or 2 years after you
paid the tax due, whichever is later) to file an amended return, which means
you don't have to get it done by the April 15 filing deadline.
For those taxpayers
who are 65 and older or blind, add another $1300 for each condition.
