Will I able to deduct those expenses for the 2022 year? Or will I deduct them in 2023 because that's when I actually made the payments? Thank you.</P> Mon, 23 Feb 2026 13:39:43 GMT tattieneeps 2026-02-23T13:39:43Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/medical-deduction-timeline/01/2851760#M1040086 <P>Hi,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I had surgery in November 2022, but made the payments for it in January 2023.

You can only deduct total medical expenses that are greater than 7.5% of your AGI and only if you itemize.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 01 Feb 2023 22:54:41 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-medical-deduction-timeline/01/2851802#M1040087 Bsch4477 2023-02-01T22:54:41Z
