The IRS has written a tax tip about deducting your medical and dental expenses. You can look at the total tip at the link below:

Just remember the exclusion for medical expenses has risen to 10% of adjusted gross income this year (unless you are over 65, then it stays at 7.5% of AGI). Also if your doctor has an exercise or therapy program he wants you to do because of a medical condition (including some plastic surgery procedures for health, not cosmetic reasons), make sure he gives you a letter spelling out the prescription so you have proof it is a valid medical deduction.

If you have questions about this, please call or email me and we can discuss it.
