Your medications and your taxes
Did you know that the IRS allows you to deduct qualified medical expenses that exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income for the year? Or 7.5% if you or your spouse is 65 or older.
Doctor visits and prescriptions can add up! Make sure to save all your receipts so that you can consult with your tax specialist.
