Illinois has a new medical deduction for self-employed Taxpayers, but other than that, medical expenses on the Illinois State return follow the same requirements as the IRS uses for the Federal 1040, Schedule A.
1. Acupuncture, YES
"You can include in medical expenses the amount you pay for acupuncture."
Chinese herbs supplied from accupuncturist, NO
"You can't include in medical expenses the cost of nutritional supplements, vitamins, herbal supplements, “natural medicines,” etc., unless they are recommended by a medical practitioner as treatment for a specific medical condition diagnosed by a physician."
optometrist exam and eyeglasses? YES
Naprapath
The IRS defines medical expenses as, "an expense is for "medical care" if its primary purpose is the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease."
and
"You can include in medical expenses fees you pay to a chiropractor for medical care."
So if this is similar, it would be allowed.
The answer linked below suggests those expenses are deductible and has never been challenged for several years.
