Deductions & credits

@Filo89 - let me summarize the questions you have to ask yourself.

 

1) do I have enough deductions that I can itemize? if I am single that means my 2022 deductions exceed $12,950 (I am assuming you are under 65)

 

2) are the medical expenses unreimbursed by insurance.  For example, my understanding is that kidney dialysis is 100% covered by Medicare, so none of it is deductible as you are not actually paying for it so there is nothing unreimbursed.  

 

3) did I ACTUALLY PAY those unreimbursed medical expenses in 2022? if I didn't pay them, they are not deductible in any event.  

 

4) How much of the medical expenses I paid exceed 7.5% of my income (Line 11 of Form 1040)? Only the medical expenses determined in #3 that exceed 7.5% of your income can be deducted as part of the itemized deduction calculation.  

 

 

hope that helps....
