Yes, you can.
According to the IRS, "Medical expenses are the costs of diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, and the costs for treatments affecting any part or function of the body. These expenses include payments for legal medical services rendered by physicians, surgeons, dentists, and other medical practitioners. They include the costs of equipment, supplies, and diagnostic devices needed for these purposes."
Medical, dental, and vision expenses are
reported on Schedule A and entered in the Deductions & Credits section:
1.
Open your tax
return.
(To do this, sign in to TurboTax and click the orange Take me to my
return button.)
2.
Search for Schedule
A and then click the "Jump to" link in the search
results.
3.
Answer Yes on
the Did you have any medical expenses in 2016? screen.
4.
You will then be
prompted to enter your medical expenses, starting with prescriptions.
If you're using Federal Free Edition or Basic
and your medical expenses are large enough that you would benefit from
itemizing deductions, you'll be prompted to upgrade to Deluxe, as the Federal
Free and Basic versions do not handle Schedule A.
