Where do I claim my service animal ?

Service animal expenses can be deducted under the medical expense section of Schedule A. Follow the directions below to enter your expenses.

  1. Log in and click take me to my return (unless already in).
  2. Click the Federal tab from the left-side menu.
  3. Click the Deductions & Credits tab at the top of the screen.
  4. On the next page, scroll down to see all tax breaks and click Show More next to Medical.
  5. Click Start/Revisit next to Medical Expenses
  6. You will claim expenses related to your service animal on the input screen where you list expenses related to medical supplies and equipment

Medical supply and equipment expenses include:

  • Bandages
  • Equipment for medical care
