Sched A medical deductions ques

Feb 15, 2007 2 Replies

My employer offers a plan where part of my salary goes into a medical reimbursement fund that's exempt from federal taxes. When we have a medical bill, we pay the portion we owe after insurance, then we submit what we paid to get reimbursed from the fund. I'm still paying what I owe out of my pocket, just with $$$ exempt from federal taxes. Are these expenses eligible to be deducted in Schedule A? thanks

No.

You're not allowed to double-dip.

No. You've already gotten a tax break in the form of lower taxable wages reported on your W-2.
