Can I claim the wig I purchased, cost $275.00, due to my hair loss why I was on cancer treatment, and where do I report it in the Turbo tax?

Yes. Wigs are deductible if they are purchased for chemotherapy-induced hair loss.

Medical, dental, and vision expenses are reported on Schedule A and entered in the Deductions & Credits section:

1.       Open your tax return.
(To do this, sign in to TurboTax and click the orange Take me to my return button.)

2.       Search for Schedule A and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.

3.       Answer Yes on the Did you have any medical expenses in 2016? screen.

4.       You will then be prompted to enter your medical expenses, starting with prescriptions.
