What it means
IRS Publication 502, Medical and Dental Expenses, is a free IRS guide explaining which healthcare costs you may deduct on Schedule A of your federal income tax return. To claim the deduction, your unreimbursed medical expenses must exceed 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income. Eligible costs include self-paid health insurance premiums, prescription drugs, dental and vision care, certain long-term care services, and transportation to medical appointments. The publication also clarifies what qualifies for reimbursement from an HSA, FSA, or HRA. Updated each tax year, it is available free at IRS.gov and is essential reading if you had high out-of-pocket medical costs in the prior year.
