    Under medical expenses. Off the top of my head I think you can only deduct the amount over and above 7% of your AIG. So using round numbers - your AIG is 50K and your surgery is 10K. 7% of the 50K is 3500. So you can deduct as medical expense 6500. But of course please consult a tax professional.

    Ditto...used to be 7.5% but they switched it to 10% for 2013 (f......ers). And don't forget your travel expenses....they are deductible, too. I'm counting airfare, mileage, hotels, and meds.
