For the purposes of the state deduction, medical expenses consist of:

Copays, deductibles and co-insurance;
Prescription medication or insulin;
Medical, dental and vision examinations and treatment by a certified health professional;
Hospital costs and nursing care, including any eligible services provided at an assisted living facility; AND
Eyeglasses, hearing aids, braces, crutches and wheelchairs.

These amounts are only deductible to the extent they exceed 7.5% of the taxpayer’s federal adjusted gross income. Refer to IRS Publication 502 for a comprehensive list of potentially eligible expenses.

This deduction is available for any of the above amounts that you paid for you, your spouse, or your dependents.

Both the IRS and Ohio cap you on lodging at $50 a night (HA HA) ....can I include taxes charged on a more expensive room?
