Deductions & credits

The unreimbursed medical expenses would be considered an itemized deduction on your federal return and likely the same on your state tax return. However, only the amount over 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income would be allowable. Also, you would have to have enough in itemized deductions to be more than the amount of your standard deduction for it to be beneficial to you. The standard deduction for married/joint tax filers is $25,900 in 2022, with an extra $1,400 added for each taxpayer who is over age 65.
