Only medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of your AGI are deductible, and only if you itemize. You can view your Medical Expenses worksheet to see all of your expenses, or view Schedule A to see the deductible amounts (over 7.5% of Adjusted gross income).
Example - For example, if your AGI happens to be $100,000, you can deduct the portion of your expenses exceeding 7.5% of your AGI ($7,500). If your total expenses for the year came in at $6,000, you wouldn't be able to deduct any of it, but if they were $10,000 you could deduct the portion over and beyond $7,500, which would be $2,500 – provided you're itemizing, of course.
