International protocols requiring int'l travel health insurance coverage and, some countries require testing at entry.... are those costs deductible as medical exp?

[jrg933]

That is, are the health coverage premiums and any costs for covid testing deductible? (recreational travel not business)

[MaryK4]

Yes, the cost of the insurance and COVID testing is deductible as a medical expense on your federal tax return.  Even though there was a nonmedical component, the primary purpose of preventing the spread of coronavirus makes them a deductible medical expense.
