Deductions & credits

Yes.  You can deduct any medical expenses that you paid for in 2024, if you itemize deductions.  

 

  • The IRS allows all taxpayers to deduct their qualified unreimbursed medical care expenses that exceed 7.5% of their adjusted gross income.
  • You must itemize your deductions on IRS Schedule A in order to deduct your medical expenses instead of taking the Standard Deduction.
  • At this time, all unreimbursed medical expenses incurred as a result of COVID-19 are tax deductible.
  • If you pay for your medical expenses using money from a flexible spending account or health savings account, those expenses aren't deductible because the money in those accounts is already tax-advantaged.
