Question

If I spent more than 7.5% of my AGI on medical expenses and do not owe federal taxes, will that amount be refunded to me?

No.  If you spent more than 7.5% of your AGI on medical expenses, you can include it as an itemized expense.

 

Itemized expenses replace your standard deduction.  They are subtracted from your AGI to arrive at your taxable income.  Once your taxable income is $0, your medical expenses nor any other itemized deductions will make a difference on your return.
