IS BIOMEDICAL & ABA THERAPY TAX DEDUCTABLE????

[Guest guest]

Hello again,

Wow, we just totalled all of 2011's ABA Therapies bills, Hospital Bills, and Biomedical therapies and it all came out to close to a WOPPING 10,000. for our 4 year old. Does anyone know if we could claim these therapies on our taxes. Don't they fall under medical or behavorial mental health expenses.Thanks everyone,Irma

Yes; check the irs.gov page for specifics. They have a search tool and a pretty detailed site.Ask using " behavioral therapy " " ABA " " mental treatment " specific terms like that

We use flexible spending for some of ours.

Ok... well I said " yes " but I never looked FOR SURE. So I could be wrong but I do believe it should be covered!!!!!!!!!!

I can answer this one! You can not write off your medical expenses unless they total 10% of your household income. Last year we were at $35, 000 and were able to use the deduction. This year we fell short spending "only" ha! ha! $15,000. Example: Household income: $100,000.00...Medical expenses $15,000.00...You can write off $5,000.00.

Get a " letter of medical necessity " from your child's Dr so it's documented to

be medically necessary. Save all receipts - document all travel, ....

How much you can actually deduct depends on your income.
