Is there a limit to medical deductions?

No, there is not a limit on medical expenses reported on Schedule A as an itemized deduction.

However, only your total medical expenses that are greater than 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) can be deducted. Your total itemized deductions reported on Form 1040 Schedule A must be greater than the standard deduction for your filing status to have any tax benefit.
