Deductions & credits

No, your medical expenses deduction does not include payments from your HSA account.  You can’t include expenses you pay for with a tax-free distribution from your health savings account.   You only want to include cash/out of pocket amounts like the payments you made from your checking account.

 

Medical expenses include dental expenses, and in this publication the term "medical expenses" is often used to refer to medical and dental expenses.  You can deduct on Schedule A (Form 1040) only the part of your medical and dental expenses that is more than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI).
