Income Tax Deduction of Lap-Band Surgery

Surgery Income Tax Deduction

Surgery Income Tax Deduction

Is lap-band surgery deductible as a itemized medical deduction allowed? Full cost of surgery was paid by myself including cost of air fair to get to place of surgery.


Payment was made by wire transfer to an account in California and surgery was performed just over the border in Mexico.. does that matter?

I am obese, have heart problems, and diabetic and it was to help myself since my insurance would not help me with any of the cost.

Your Lap-Band surgery even though it was done in Mexico should be tax deductible once your expenses reach 7.5% of your income. Just be sure to have all your receipts.
