Are doctor prescribed allergy drops (immunotherapy, alternative to allergy shots) a deductible medical expense?

[DeniseF1 · Accepted solution]

Yes. They would fall under prescriptions.  The amount not covered by insurance would be considered deductible.

Please keep in mind the following about deducting your medical expenses:

• You don't get the benefit if you are taking the standard deduction.
• If you itemize deductions, you will only be able to take total medical expenses that are greater than:
• 10% of your adjusted gross income if you are under age 65; or
• 7.5% of your adjusted gross income if you are age 65 or over (born before January 2, 1951).
