For 2019, the IRS allowed taxpayers to deduct the portion of their medical and dental expenses that exceeded 10% of their adjusted gross income (AGI). Roberto's AGI is $110,000, so 10% of that is $11,000. His medical expenses are $13,200. Subtracting the threshold ($11,000) from his total expenses ($13,200) gives $2,200, which is the amount he can deduct.
