Can I deduct medical expenses not paid thru my HSA?

Copied from above:

Yes. Itemized medical deductions must exceed 10% of adjusted gross income (under age 65) to be deductible.


You can reimburse yourself (from your HSA) the amount paid from your non-HSA for the expenses mentioned above as long as those expenses are incurred at a time when you had a HSA available. There's no rule saying that you must use HSA to pay in the same year the expense was incurred. That's a better choice for maximum tax savings.
