Yes, you can deduct unreimbursed medical /insurance expenses paid out of pocket 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.

See Deducting Medical, Dental, and Vision Expenses

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
