Can I deduct a wig for Alopecia areatra a medical condition that has led to total hair loss. Minnesota flows a insurance payment

Yes. If it is medical related and you have not been reimbursed by your insurance.  

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).
