Yes, mileage is deductible at 22 cents per mile for medical appointments and treatment for both your distance travel and local travel. Co-pays are also deductible. In order to claim the miles, and other medical expenses, your total medical expenses would need to be greater than 7.5% of your AGI and then only the amount that is greater than 7.5% are deductible. This means, if you have an AGI of $50,000, then only the expenses greater than $3,750 would be deductible IF you itemize your return. So, if your total medical expenses were $4,000, you would only have a deduction of $250 to apply to your itemized deductions.
In order to Itemize your return, your total itemized expenses need to be greater than your standard deduction. If you are single your standard deduction is $12,950. Your other itemized expenses include mortgage interest, state and local taxes up to $10,000 and charitable contributions.
All of these expenses would be entered in the Federal Credits and Deductions section. It is best to walk through step by step, so TurboTax can help you get all the Credits and Deductions you are eligible for.
