Explanation / Answer

        Rebecca and Irving’s allowable medical costs before reimbursement are $7,370. The cosmetic surgery, veterinarian fees, and the over-the-counter drugs are not allowable medical expenses. Their unreimbursed medical costs are $3,670 [$7,370 - $3,700 ($4,000 - $300)]. The $4,000 reimbursement is reduced by the $300 reimbursement for the cosmetic surgery. The $3,670 of medical expenses is subject to the 7 1/2% AGI limitation.

        Their allowable deduction is $370:

Medical insurance premiums                               $ 4,100

Doctors                                                                    1,225

Dentist                                                                        575

Chiropractor                                                              220
