“When can I claim medical expenses as a deduction from taxable income on my taxes

Medical expenses can be deducted from taxable income when you file your taxes. To qualify for this deduction, you must have paid medical expenses for yourself or someone else that exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income. You should also be able to substantiate those expenses with receipts or other documentation.

You can claim medical expenses as a deduction from your taxable income on your taxes in the year you paid them. You’ll need receipts for all items and services you paid for with medical expenses, such as doctor’s bills, prescription drugs, and dental care.”
