Is a missed medical appointment a deductible expense?

My daughter missed a medical appointment that I was charge for. Can I include it as a deductible expense with my other medical bills?

No. You would not be able to include missed appointment fees as this was not a payment for services rendered. There was no medical care provided or received for this fee.

Remember Medical bills are only deductible for the amount that is over 7.5% of your AGI.

I have a family trust that invests in private lending. Unfortunately, we’ve had to pay legal expenses to foreclose on some borrowers. Can I deduct legal expenses?
