Can i claim chiropractor visits?

The expense for Chiropractic treatment is deductible as a medical expense, but only if you itemize deductions. You would need TurboTax Deluxe to itemize.

For 2015, your deductions would have to exceed these (standard deduction) amounts in order to itemize: 

Single or Married Filing Separately: $6300

Married Filing Joint, or Widow(er): $12,600

Head of Household: $9250

Plus, if you are Age 65 or older, or blind, add the following for each : 

$1250 for Joint, Widow or Married Filing Separate, $1550 for  Single or Head of Household.

 

To enter Medical Expenses:

  • Go to Federal Taxes
  • Select Deductions and Credits
  • Scroll down to Medical, and choose Medical Expenses. 
  • Enter all of your medical expenses, and you will come to a screen "Enter Insurance Premiums."

Your total Medical Expenses would have to exceed 10% of your Adjusted Gross Income (7.5% if you are over age 65) in order to claim a deduction.
