Medical Deductions

[BOBHHI]

Can I deduct the cost of meals on overnight medical trips to the Mayo Clinic

[MinhT1]

The IRS says:

You can include in medical expenses the cost of meals at a hospital or similar institution if a principal reason for being there is to get medical care. You can't include in medical expenses the cost of meals that aren't part of inpatient care.

Please see page 11 of this IRS publication.
