Deductions & credits

There isn't a cap on deductible medical expenses, but you must have enough deductions to itemize on your Schedule A. Review the TurboTax article: What Are Itemized Tax Deductions? to find out if you have other deductions to itemize.

 

Once you determine that you have enough deductions to itemize, you will be able to deduct allowable medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of your AGI (TurboTax will do the calculation).

 

Review the TurboTax articles: The Ultimate Medical Expense Deductions Checklist and Are Medical Expenses Tax Deductible? for additional information.  

 

 You can also deduct medical mileage for medical visits and to pick up prescriptions. Refer to the IRS website What medical expenses are included for transportation and the TurboTax Help article Can I deduct medical mileage and travel?
