I should have read the posts first! Anyway, do you get explanation of benefits

for doctor visits? I looked through those at dates of service to document our

doctor visits. You could do this to figure mileage and tolls.

Thank you, I guess it may be too late for me this year to gather

everything and tally by tonight because I didn't keep good records of

it, but I know next year we will qualify because I have a bunch of

medical bills sitting here unpaid. I'm sure we can't claim them till

we pay them, so I'll start getting organized for next year. I can't

remember exact appoinment dates etc to figure out how many times we

drove to specialists, to do the mileage, copays and tolls I wish I

kept tract better!

It something like 30% of your GROSS income. It's pretty crappy. Last year with

two trips to Iowa, neurosurgery, about a billion tests, and clubfoot treatment,

we still didn't qualify.

heart surgery and Aleksander's birth and stay in the NICU...all in

the same year. We certainly don't make loads of money, and we did

max out our out of pocket expenses with our medical insurance for the

year, so we had a TON of medical bills.

What I'm getting at in a round about way is that I think the

threshold for deducting medical expenses may be a bit higher than one

might expect.

Hope things work better for you than they did for us! It would have

been nice to have some consolation for dealing with all that in one

year!

Wow! 7, huh? Our tax guy last year must have been high. That's what I get for

not looking stuff up myself.
