DoninGA and I have said the same thing.
The MEDICAL EXPENSES paid are not eligible to be used as MEDICAL EXPENSE DEDUCTIONS since they were reimbursed.
The person I answered had at least 900 in premium payments, which COULD be entered as medical expenses, HOWEVER they were reimbursed by the SHAP, so whatever they paid as premiums -900= what they can claim.
The REIMBURSMENTS are not reported, they are not income.
DoninGA says:
"The reimbursement is for medical expenses that you have paid with out of pocket funds. Those medical expenses paid would NOT be entered as a medical expense itemized deduction..."
Same difference, either subtract the reimbursements from the expenses, or just don't enter those expenses to begin with.
