Healthcare shouldn’t be this complicated. Learn the terms that matter to make informed decisions about your health.
Tax deductions for medical expenses allow taxpayers to deduct qualified unreimbursed medical and dental expenses that exceed 7.5% of their adjusted gross income when itemizing deductions on their federal tax return. Eligible expenses include health insurance premiums, doctor visits, prescription medications, medical equipment, and travel for medical care. This deduction helps reduce the financial burden of significant healthcare costs not covered by insurance.
A Solace advocate can help you identify which medical expenses qualify for tax deduction, organize documentation for tax filing, and understand the income threshold requirements. While advocates cannot provide tax advice, they can help track and categorize medical expenses throughout the year for tax purposes.
