For ladies in the states...Ltttc and taxes

[Maurie]

As a teacher I am one to research everything.

I have found that infertility treatments, surgeries, procedures, and medicines prescribed by a doctor are tax deductible.

This means that you may have to itemize but it will save money.

Just wanted to let you know before tax season hit full force
Good luck lots offor all

This is what the IRS states. . .

You can include in medical expenses the cost of the following procedures to overcome an inability to have children.

Procedures such as in vitro fertilization (including temporary storage of eggs or sperm).

Surgery, including an operation to reverse prior surgery that prevented the person operated on from having children.

How Much of the Expenses Can You Deduct?
You can deduct only the amount of your medical and dental expenses that is more than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (Form 1040, line 38).


an accountant would be better able to tell what exactly is deductible.
I am going to make an appointment with our accountant soon.
