Medical expenses after health insurance coverage

[noodle2_08]

$12,000 hospital bill, insurance covered three fourths of it. paying $3000 out of pocket. do I add the $12,000 to tax form or only $3000??

For your medical deductions, you should only be entering the amount you paid in the calendar year (not the amount billed or what you're liable for).  If you've paid only $3,000, enter only $3,000.
