    Yes.  Medical Treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction performed by a nurse would be considered nursing services and deductible as a medical expense if you are itemizing. Your medical treatment and all medical expenses are only deductible for the amount that is over 7.5% of your AGI.  This means if your AGI is $50,000, then the amount that is over $3,750 is deductible.  

     

     Itemized expenses include mortgage interest, gambling losses up to winnings,  charitable contributions, state and local taxes up to $10,000, medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of your AGI and casualty and losses in excess of 10% of you AGI with the first $100 not counting towards the loss.  

     

    Then your total itemized expenses would need to be greater than your standard deduction below in order to benefit from your expenses. 

     

    The 2024 Standard Deductions are as follows:

    • Married Filing Joint (MFJ)              $29,200
    • Married Filing Separate (MFS)      $14,600
    • Head of Household (HOH)             $21,900 
    • Single                                                 $14,600                                

    Blind or over 65 and MFJ or MFS add $1,550

    Single or HOH if blind or over 65 add $1,950

     

     

    Standard versus Itemized Deduction
