Guest guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 My understanding is that supps are deductible if a doctor writes a scrip. Food is deductible but only the difference between what a " normal " version of that food would cost. For example, if a loaf of regular bread is $2.50 and a loaf of GFCF bread is $5.99, you can deduct the extra amount it costs you to provide a loaf of bread for your child. I calculated it by ounce because the loaf sizes are not comparable.

Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Yes, it's not a direct write off but if you spend up to the limit 3000.00 ( I maybe wrong with figures) , so say you spend on healthcare expenses 7500.00 /yr per family or how ever you do taxes. if the limit is 3000. then 4,500.00 is deductible. the script is necessary in the event audit to prove need. it's like some gym memberships, special diapers, nutritionist exams , google on line for more info. definitely these come under the MSA. also keep track of mileage, tolls etc. now this for federal thus far. some states have different opinions. linda rn tax writeoffs Hi, Someone told me that I could get a tax write off for the special foods, supplements, blood tests, etc for my daughter == if a medical doctor said that these things were necessary.

Does anyone know > anything about this? You would itemize these things on form 1040, schedule A, under medical expenses. You can deduct anything over 7.5% of your income.
