Hello. Can I deduct a surgery from my taxes? If so, how / where can I declare this? I spent about $ 3000 on a surgery (only a portion of which I paid using my HSA). Thank

Yes, you can deduct cost of surgery or your other medical expenses that you paid out of your pocket (not through your HSA) in 2016.  Those expenses may include your medical mileage to/from doctors, any visits, lab fees, tests, prescriptions, etc.

1. Federal Taxes
2. Deductions and Credits
3. Scroll down to Medical, select Medical Expenses - follow the prompts, If no descriptions match, you may enter our own description and amount in Other Expenses section
