writing off medical expenses
what did you write off? is there a limit? i never wrote off any medical stuff but last year was a big medical year for us. so im looking into doing so..
Re: writing off medical expenses
We've never had enough to meet the minimum. We were going to do it for 2011 if we did IVF, but since we ended up not making it that far, we didn't have enough expenses.
You can only write off un-reimbursed medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. So if your AGI is $50,000, then you could only write off unreimbursed expenses over and above the first $3500 of unreimbursed expenses (you basically have to eat the first 7.5% and can only write off the rest beyond that).
You also can't include anything that you used your FSA reimbursement money to pay for.
But you CAN include mileage deduction for trips to and from medical appointments. The rate was 19cents per mile for Jan-June, then went up to 23.5 cents per mile for July-Dec. This really adds up with all of the doc appts.
The IRS has some good info on their website about what you can, and can't deduct: http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc502.html
