Medical expenses tax deduction

[METsmarthomes]

During 2019 I had an IVF treatment and some other expenses that I want to deduct from taxes. It is more than 10% adjusted gross income percentage and more than $12,000.00

I am planing to open a LLC company but I want to make sure that it doesn't affect my chances of deduct my personal medical expenses. 

Can you please give me some information about it. Can I open a LLC company and still deduct my personal medical expenses (not as business expenses)?

Personal medical expenses for doctors, hospitals, medical procedures, etc. are only entered on Schedule as an itemized deduction. 

You are referring to the self-employed health insurance premiums paid.

thank you for your prompt response.

I am not looking for deducting health insurance on the company I will create, I already have insurance in my current job (which I will keep).

I just want to make sure that even if I open a LLC company, I will be able to deduct the medical expenses on my personal taxes (not related at all with the new company)

Thank you

Yes.  Personal deductions and business expenses are separate.  You get to take both.   Will your LLC be a Single Member LLC?  Then you will probably file it as a disregarded entity on Schedule C in your personal return.  If it is something else or you elect to be an S corp you need to file a separate Business return for it and should get professional help to set it up the first year.

if the llc operates at a profit it will have an effect on the amount of medical expenses that can be deducted.

qualified medical expenses must be reduced by 7.5 % of adjusted gross income to arrive at deductible medical expenses.    a loss would reduce AGI which would have the opposite effect in allowing more deductible medical expenses.
