Question

Deduction

2 replies

Can you receive a deduction for paying rent/room and board for a drug rehabilitation center

Level 15

Yes, the expenses in a rehab center are an itemized medical expense deduction. You can only deduct an amount of total medical expenses greater than 7.5 percent of your AGI.

Alumni - Intuit

You can enter the cost as Medical Expenses.

You would only get the deduction for the expense if your itemized deductions are more than the Standard Deduction. For most people, the standard deduction is more.
