I know over the counter medicines are not deductible. And I have read the irs page on medical expenses but I still have concerns. My blood glucose monitor, lancets and strips are all over the counter ones. Are they deductible?
Yes.
Diagnostic DevicesYou can include in medical expenses the cost of devices used in diagnosing and treating illness and disease.
Example.
You have diabetes and use a blood sugar test kit to monitor your blood sugar level. You can include the cost of the blood sugar test kit in your medical expenses.
