Deductions & credits

You can't deduct expenses that are paid for or reimbursed by insurance.   You can only deduct the portion you paid for out of pocket (unreimbursed) as a medical expense on Schedule A ---- IF you itemize deductions.   Also, even if you do itemize, only the amount of medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income are deductible.  

 

Can I deduct medical expenses?
