So, for example, if your adjusted gross income is $40,000 and you have $5,000 in medical expenses you would be entitled to an itemized deduction of $1,000 (40,000 x 10% = 4,000 &nbsp; 5,000-4,000=1,000).</P> Thu, 06 Jun 2019 09:44:33 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/after-you-file/discussion/the-deduction-for-medical-expenses-is-limited-to-the-amou/01/663084#M130282 SueT 2019-06-06T09:44:33Z
