My wife has a bad back. her Doctor gave us a prescription for an adjustable bed. we bought one for 2100.00. is the cost of the bed a deductable prescription?

[KrisD · Accepted solution]

Yes, if you have a written script and there was a medical need for it.

You would need to subtract what a regular bed would cost and only claim the difference.

Please be aware that if you sell it in the future, you would need to report the deductible amount as income on that tax year's return.
