For those under the age of 65,medical and dental expenses may be included as itemized deductions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Medical and dental expenses can be included as itemized deductions for individuals under the age of 65 only in the amount in excess of 10% of adjusted gross income. This means that only the portion of expenses that exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income is deductible. For example, if a taxpayer's adjusted gross income is $50,000 and they have $7,000 in medical and dental expenses, only $2,000 ($7,000 - $5,000) would be deductible.
