UPDATED FOR TAX YEAR 2019
Yes. Knee scooters are deductible as durable medical equipment as long as it is ordered by your doctor. Medical, dental, and vision expenses are reported on Schedule A and entered in the Deductions & Credits section.
Please keep in mind the following about deducting your medical expenses, including health insurance:
- You don't get the benefit if you are taking the standard deduction.
- If you itemize deductions, you will only be able to take total medical expenses that are greater than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income
To enter your medical expenses, please follow these steps:
- Click on Taxes > Deductions & Credits
- In the Medical section, click on the Start/Revisit box next to Medical Expenses.
- If you haven't yet entered any medical expenses, TurboTax will ask you if your total medical expenses exceed a certain number. [That's the 7.5% AGI mentioned above.]
- If you think your total medical expenses will exceed that number, click the blue Yes box and continue through the interview, entering the requested information on your medical expenses.
