Medical expenses in EXCESS of 7.5% of your adjusted gross income are deductible. So, if your income is $10,000, you can deduct medical expenses that exceed $750. But you must itemize dedcutions as they are reported on Schedule A- Itemized Deductions. Additionally, you cannot deduct expenses that were reimbursed by insurance.
