When filing your taxes, you want to reduce your taxes as much as possible. You can claim many tax breaks on your tax return, and if you have a lot of medical bills, you may get a tax deduction on them, too.
Understanding what qualifies as a medical expenses deduction depends on whether the services or costs meet the IRS definition. Qualifying expenses must be for diagnosis, prevention, treatment, or cure of diseases or injuries. To claim those costs, you must keep any receipts for them.
