Do you have to itemize to get a deduction for hearing aids?

You have to itemize your medical expenses in order to get a deduction for hearing aids. Then you only get to deduct the amount of medical expenses that are above 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.


Consider Medical Expenses?

When you are filing free taxes, be sure to consider every possible deduction for which you qualify. Deductions are what allow people to avoid having to pay heavy taxes. One deduction that people frequently miss out on is a medical expense deduction. If your medical expenses total more than 7.5% of your total adjusted gross income, then you will be able to qualify for a deduction on medical expenses. You will be able to write off any expenses associated with your medical care, such as traveling to and from doctor's appointments and the purchase of any medical equipment for your treatments.


Can dental bills be deducted on income tax return?

Yes, if you itemize deductions on Form 1040 Schedule A, but the deduction may be limited to zero if your adjusted gross income (AGI) is high and your deductible expenses are low.For example, if your AGI is $40,000 and your medical and dental expenses are $4,000, your deduction will be limited to $1,000: $40,000 AGI x 7.5% = $3,000 threshold. $4,000 expenses minus $3,000 threshold = $1,000 deduction.See the attached link for a list of expenses that qualify for the medical and dental expense deduction.


New Medical Expense Deduction Guidelines for Tax Year 2013?

I’ve written before about the deduction that the IRS allows for medical expenses. Before we get to the change in the IRS guidelines for tax year 2013, let’s recap a little bit. The IRS allows you to deduct certain medical and dental expenses from your taxable income. This is a “below-the-line” deduction, which means it takes place after your Adjusted Gross Income (or AGI is calculated). And it’s necessarily a “below-the-line” deduction because in order to claim the deduction your medical and dental expenses must exceed a percentage of your AGI. This means that you can’t start counting the deduction from dollar one spent on medical expenses. In fact, historically you could only deduct that portion which exceeded 7.5% of your AGI. This means that if, in tax year 2012, if your AGI was $100,000, the first $7,500 of medical expenses were on you. Only the amount which exceeded this threshold was allowed to be claimed as a deduction. Everything changes this year. In fact for 2013, it gets worse. Now instead of meeting the threshold of 7.5% of your AGI, taxpayers are only allowed a deduction for medical expense which exceed 10% of their AGI. So given the above example, it wouldn’t be until your medical expenses reached $10,000.01 that you could even think about taking this deduction. So if your medical expenses totaled $11,000, you could only claim a deduction for $1,000. There is one exception to this new rule. Those taxpayers which are 65 years or older are still allowed to claim a deduction for the amount which exceeds 7.5% of their AGI. To learn more about this new IRS policy, as well as to ascertain exactly which medical and dental expense are allowed to be included in the deduction calculation please refer to IRS publication #502.

Are prescription costs tax deductible?

You can include in medical expenses costs for prescribed medicines and drugs. You can deduct medical expenses only if you itemize deductions on IRS Form 1040 Schedule A and only to the extent they exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. Most people do not have enough medical expenses to exceed the 7.5% threshhold so do not get a medical expense deduction. See the attached links for more information.

A Medical Savings Account allows you to put money into an account that is earmarked for payment of medical expenses and not pay any taxes on it. This is better than the itemized deduction for medical expenses which is income limited, only kicks in with high expenditures and is not available if you do not itemize. Please note that an MSA must be combined with a high deductible insurance program.
