how much $ in medical bills can you claim on your taxes in WI?

Question

If you paid $ for the year to medical bills that insurance did not cover, how much do you need to accumulate to be able to claim the amount on your taxes?

Answer 1

You can deduct the amount of your medical bills that exceeds 7.5% of your income.

Answer 2

At least with the Feds, it's a percentage of your total income, not a set dollar amount. State taxes are usually determined by what you paid to the Feds, so you may not get a different deduction from the state. Get ahold of the 2006 tax return form and look for that line to get an idea of what you might be able to get - it usually isn't much, unfortunately!
