I had medical expenses I put on a credit card that is only for medical expenses. Can I count those? If so, can I count the full amount charged or only the amount paid off

This is not my FSA card but an actual medical credit card.

Yes, you can claim medical expenses on a credit card in the year charged without regard to the amount of the charge paid off if you itemize and the total expenses for you, your spouse, and your dependents exceed 7.5 % of your adjusted gross income. The deduction is limited to the expenses above and beyond this amount.

To enter medical expenses:

• Type in medical expenses the search box, top right of your screen, then click the magnifying glass

• Click the jump to medical expenses link in the search results

• Follow to prompts and online instructions
