Deductions & credits

You can only claim the same expense once. You will want to claim any expenses not already claimed. As you have received a type of reimbursement by claiming them in Germany, they are not deductible here.

 

The IRS states:  "You must reduce your total medical expenses for the year by all reimbursements for medical expenses that you receive from insurance or other sources during the year."
