I had cancer last year and had over 11489 in medical and travel expenses. Can I deduct this somewhere ?

I am sorry to hear that. I hope you are healing.

Yes, you can. This is for out of pocket expenses. Here is how:

• Personal
• Deductions & Credits
• Medical
• Medical Expenses....start

FYI: If you are self-employed and pay health insurance premiums, you may be able to deduct up to 100% of the cost of these premiums. To enter expenses:

• Go to the Wages & Income section.
• Select Add/Edit next to your self-employment work income.
• Select Edit next to the line of work where you paid health insurance premiums.
• Under Expenses select Add expenses for this work.
• You’ll find Health insurance premiums under Less Common Expenses.

You can only deduct up to the amount of your self-employed income minus the deduction for self-employment tax. Any remaining self-employment health insurance premiums will automatically be transferred to Schedule A and be subject to limitations.
