I felt a need to reply to you here instead of my previous post so that people are not confused. After this I will consider this a dead issue.

You have not read through the irs.gov document throughly. The " exceeds 7.5% of your adjusted gross income" pertains to all unreimbursed medical/dental expenses which includes transportation costs to the doctors /medical facilities.and other expenses which the IRS clearly spells out. I am sure there are some people who visit this site who do not have insurance or whose incomes are low with enormous medical expenses that could benefit from this information.

Yes, I know about H&R Block, but my father-in-law is also a tax accountant.. When you have a relationship with your tax accountant, he would tell you in advance what receipts you need and to make sure you keep accurate records. I cannot speak for others, but I keep records and receipts for all tax related issues. People who visit H&R Block type of tax places are just getting their taxes done based on the info they provide. The H&R Blocks are not going to ask you for these receipts. That is why anyone with tremendous medical expenses would benefit from seeing a tax accountant or a tax attorney who will tell them what they need to do to protect themselves financially.

I am just relating factual information to help people, not confusing them. I provided the IRS website address so that they could read the information firsthand and use it to their benefit if they wish to. By the way, a phone call to the IRS won't cost you anything (they have toll free numbers).

Finally, Renee, I am sure you joined this forum for a reason, but based on your comments to several posters, I am not really sure why. I joined to offer support to others, just like I hope I have their support. I just like to be a little more positive in my support and help others when they have questions.
