  • Yes my question is if I go to the methadone clinic and have spent over $6000.00 this year alone can I claim that on my income tax and if so what percentage would I get back or would I get the whole amount back. Was told that I could and would receive the whole amount back

    To deduct unreimbursed, out-of-pocket medical, dental, and vision costs on your federal return:

    • You must take the itemized deduction;
    • The expenses for you, your jointly-filing spouse, and your dependent(s) must exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI); and
    • Only the portion above and beyond 7.5% of your AGI(Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 11) is deductible
