Gym membership deduction
You must first qualify this as a medical expense :
- Your doctor must first diagnose you with a specific medical condition that makes gym membership a medically necessary .treatment.
- You must have written proof from your doctor of your gym membership being "prescribed" to treat your specific condition
- You must not have previously (before your diagnosis} held a gym membership . .
- Once you have qualified this as a medical expense ,please follow this link for information on how to claim a medical expense.https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/Tax-Deductions-and-Credits/-Can-I-Claim-Medical-Expen...
