I have heard that major medical expenses are indeed tax deductible. How much you can deduct will depend...my Doctor's office actually mentioned it.

It could be deducted on Schedule "A". But you would have to have enough other deductions for medical to make a difference! Good luck! I haven't had medical deductions in 35 years, since I was paying for my daughters medications at $25,000 out of pocket! My son doesn't own his home, so even though h had a lot of deducitons for medical and donations, he didn't haev enough to not take standard deduction. Karen( I am not a tax expert, however!!!)

You can if it is over the minum percentage they allow you for medical deductions. I was able to deduct the portion I paid./ Good luck

The surgery, and any money you pay for fills is tax deductible. Other expenses related to the surgery are probably deductible as well (e.g. mileage to and from the doc office or hospital). I'm a CPA, contact me if you have further questions.

Of course,you'll want to consult a tax professional,but ALL out of pocket medical expenses are deductable. Total amount deductable may depend on your business situation too. I own my LLC,and even deduct my health insurance premiums. Good luck to you.......
