It's Tax Time! Your Medical Expenses and Tax Deductions

It's that time of year again - tax season. Did you know that your cancer medical expenses may be tax deductible? By cancer medical expenses, this can mean child care while you received treatment, parking fees at hospitals, and even the cost of a wig if you lost your hair to chemotherapy. There are so many aspects of treatment that can be included in your tax deductions - many of which I was unaware of!

Don't forget that your entire family's medical expenses are deductible, including dental and optical care. Tax software programs like Turbotax can help you organize these deductions, or you may choose to see a tax accountant for help in filing your income taxes.
