If you are self-employed and use a Schedule C, then you may ADD up ALL you medical expenses (chiropractic , dentist , optometry , health insurance premiums, any indemnity plans (AFLAC, Family Heritage, etc. premiums), your co-pays, deductibles, prescriptions drugs, and over the counter if you put the date and what it was specifically used for. EXAMPLE.
Say you have 4000/yr in premiums, your deductible was 7500, your co-pays were 20 per time. Your prescriptions were 750 and 175 in overthecounter meds. SO 4000 + 7500 + 200 in co-pays + 925 in prescription and overthecounter meds + 1800 in AFLAC + 20,000 dental bill + 600 in chiropractic bills = 35,025 ou now take what sales % tx bracket you're in + your state taxes % if any + 15.3% of SS taxes you owe since you're self employed. Say you live in AR
15% + 7.5% +15.3% = 37.8% x 35,025 =
13,239.45 IN TAX WRITE OFFS..If you use Schedule F - line 17 It's called an Association 105, it's legal, by the IRS since the 50's - ask your CPA
