Below is your client’s actual list of her family’s unreimbursed medical ex-penses for the year. Of course she wants to deduct everything, so it’s up to you to tell her which items really are deductible as medical expenses. (Ignore the % of AGI floor.) My Family’s Medical Expenses: (A) Aspirin (B) Contact lenses (C) Medical marijuana (bought in Oklahoma – it’s legal!) (D) Veterinary bills (for “Whiskers” the cat, but she’s family, too!) (E) Acupuncture (it worked!) (F) Sunscreen (preventing skin cancer!) (G) Botox injections (Wonderful for my mental health – I look 10 years younger!) (H) Running shoes (heart health!) (I) Viagra (brought home from Mexico, much cheaper!) (J) Mileage for driving to/from doctors’ offices (K) Birth control pills (L) Parking at the hospital (visiting Aunt Mary) (M) Massage therapy (at the Elizabeth Arden “Red Door” Salon, wonderful!) (N) A book on meditation and self-hypnosis (I now feel so calm and serene!). (O) Prescription Adderall for our ADD son (he’s out of control!) (P) Band-Aids (bandages) (Q) Maternity clothes (can’t wear them later!) (R) Weekly household help (I’m pregnant, can’t do it all!) (S) Vitamin D Supplements (from health food store, doc told me I was deficient) (a) B, E, I, K, M, and Q only. (b) A, B, E, G, I, N, and R only. (c) B, E, J, K, O, and P only. (d) B, C, H, J, K, Q, and S only. (e) A, D, F, H, L, and M only
