Deductions & credits
It depends. Although you itemize, you can only deduct unreimbursed medical expenses (such as prescriptions) that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI), found on line 11 of your 2020 Form 1040.
To enter your prescriptions and other medical expenses, please follow the steps below:
- Open your return.
- Search medical expenses with the magnifying glass tool at the top of the page.
- Select the Jump to link.
- The first page is titled Tell us about any prescription medication expenses.
- Enter your prescriptions in the box and click Continue. I attached a picture below for additional guidance.
- Enter the rest of your medical expenses.
