cpap deduction

Cpap goes under medical if you itemize you taxes

 

You'll need about $3300 or 7.5% of your wages as a dollar amount to even have a positive deduction on medical.

Then you need a total of $5950 total deductions to even make itemizing benefit you. Otherwise just use the standard deduction.

 

Smartest thing to have done would have been a Health Savings Account. Fully deductible off the gross.

 

as my accountant says you can deuct anything until your audited
many accountantants could make a case that cpap would be a job requirement


why ask truck drivers tax questions anyway
we cant even agree on what the green book says or doesnt say

 

Ask an accountant.

Also, if you have health insurance with a high deductible, then the Health Savings Account becomes a possibility.

When you decide to take the expense as a job deal, remember, you are subject to preparation penalties, false return charges as well as owing the tax.

That is why I suggest you really talk to a local tax preparer, enrolled agent or CPA.

 

Not trying to be rude, so please don't take me wrong. How can a company require you to have a cpap machine. How the heck do they know you have apnea. If the doctor says you have it, then it is a medical requirement. The company isn't really saying you have to have a cpap machine, but that you have to follow your doctors medical advise while working for them.

 

Their requirements said I fit the criteria for a test. Their sleep study company said I have. They said I need the machine or can't drive for them. Therefore they require it.
