Yes, doctor fees are a deductible medical expense if you itemize.
as long as they're registered and licensed in the sate to practice medicine.
You can only deduct the amount of unreimbursed Medical Expenses you actually paid over 7.5% of your AGI. So it might take a lot to be worth entering. And then all your itemized deductions have to be more than the standard deduction to get any benefit (so you would only be getting the benefit of the amount that puts you over the standard deduction). And since the Standard Deduction is increased more people will not need to Itemize.
For 2023 the standard deduction amounts are:
Single 13,850 + 1,850 for 65 and over or blind (15,700)
HOH 20,800 + 1,850 for 65 and over or blind (22,650)
Joint 27,700 + 1,500 for each 65 and over or blind (29,200/30,700)
Married filing Separate 13,850 + 1,500 for 65 and over or blind (15,350)
