The 2200 amount that was added as a medical expense deduction on the schedule A itemized deduction of the 1040 federal income tax return did NOT INCREASE your itemized deductions amount enough to reduce your taxable income amount on page 2 line 43 of the 2009 1040 income tax return.

At the same time, you would credit the Income Tax Receivable account (if previously recorded) or the Income Tax Expense account to reduce the tax expense. The entry would look like this: Debit Cash Credit Income Tax Receivable (or Income Tax Expense). This reflects the receipt of the refund and adjusts the related accounts accordingly.
