Ez 1040 form 2012 Internal Revenue Bulletin: 2010-9 March 1, 2010 Rev. Ez 1040 form 2012 Proc. Ez 1040 form 2012 2010-18 Table of Contents SECTION 1. Ez 1040 form 2012 PURPOSE SECTION 2. Ez 1040 form 2012 BACKGROUND SECTION 3. Ez 1040 form 2012 SCOPE SECTION 4. Ez 1040 form 2012 APPLICATION SECTION 5. Ez 1040 form 2012 EFFECTIVE DATE SECTION 6. Ez 1040 form 2012 DRAFTING INFORMATION SECTION 1. Ez 1040 form 2012 PURPOSE This revenue procedure provides: (1) limitations on depreciation deductions for owners of passenger automobiles first placed in service by the taxpayer during calendar year 2010, including a separate table of limitations on depreciation deductions for trucks and vans; and (2) the amounts to be included in income by lessees of passenger automobiles first leased by the taxpayer during calendar year 2010, including a separate table of inclusion amounts for lessees of trucks and vans. Ez 1040 form 2012 The tables detailing these depreciation limitations and lessee inclusion amounts reflect the automobile price inflation adjustments required by § 280F(d)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code. Ez 1040 form 2012 SECTION 2. Ez 1040 form 2012 BACKGROUND . Ez 1040 form 2012 01 For owners of passenger automobiles, § 280F(a) imposes dollar limitations on the depreciation deduction for the year the taxpayer places the passenger automobile in service and for each succeeding year. Ez 1040 form 2012 Section 280F(d)(7) requires the amounts allowable as depreciation deductions to be increased by a price inflation adjustment amount for passenger automobiles placed in service after 1988. Ez 1040 form 2012 The method of calculating this price inflation amount for trucks and vans placed in service in or after calendar year 2003 uses a different CPI “automobile component” (the “new trucks” component) than that used in the price inflation amount calculation for other passenger automobiles (the “new cars” component), resulting in somewhat higher depreciation deductions for trucks and vans. Ez 1040 form 2012 This change reflects the higher rate of price inflation for trucks and vans since 1988. Ez 1040 form 2012 . Ez 1040 form 2012 02 Section 280F(c) requires a reduction in the deduction allowed to the lessee of a leased passenger automobile. Ez 1040 form 2012 The reduction must be substantially equivalent to the limitations on the depreciation deductions imposed on owners of passenger automobiles. Ez 1040 form 2012 Under § 1. Ez 1040 form 2012 280F-7(a) of the Income Tax Regulations, this reduction requires a lessee to include in gross income an inclusion amount determined by applying a formula to the amount obtained from a table. Ez 1040 form 2012 One table applies to lessees of trucks and vans and another table applies to all other passenger automobiles. Ez 1040 form 2012 Each table shows inclusion amounts for a range of fair market values for each taxable year after the passenger automobile is first leased. Ez 1040 form 2012 SECTION 3. Ez 1040 form 2012 SCOPE . Ez 1040 form 2012 01 The limitations on depreciation deductions in section 4. Ez 1040 form 2012 01(2) of this revenue procedure apply to passenger automobiles (other than leased passenger automobiles) that are placed in service by the taxpayer in calendar year 2010, and continue to apply for each taxable year that the passenger automobile remains in service. Ez 1040 form 2012 . Ez 1040 form 2012 02 The tables in section 4. Ez 1040 form 2012 02 of this revenue procedure apply to leased passenger automobiles for which the lease term begins during calendar year 2010. Ez 1040 form 2012 Lessees of these passenger automobiles must use these tables to determine the inclusion amount for each taxable year during which the passenger automobile is leased.

Ez 1040 form 2012 01 Limitations on Depreciation Deductions for Certain Automobiles. Ez 1040 form 2012 (1) Amount of the inflation adjustment. Ez 1040 form 2012 (a) Passenger automobiles (other than trucks or vans). Ez 1040 form 2012 Under § 280F(d)(7)(B)(i), the automobile price inflation adjustment for any calendar year is the percentage (if any) by which the CPI automobile component for October of the preceding calendar year exceeds the CPI automobile component for October 1987. Ez 1040 form 2012 The term “CPI automobile component” is defined in § 280F(d)(7)(B)(ii) as the “automobile component” of the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers published by the Department of Labor. Ez 1040 form 2012 The new car component of the CPI was 115. Ez 1040 form 2012 2 for October 1987 and 137. Ez 1040 form 2012 851 for October 2009. Ez 1040 form 2012 The October 2009 index exceeded the October 1987 index by 22. Ez 1040 form 2012 651. Ez 1040 form 2012 Therefore, the automobile price inflation adjustment for 2010 for passenger automobiles (other than trucks and vans) is 19. Ez 1040 form 2012 66 percent (22. Ez 1040 form 2012 651/115. Ez 1040 form 2012 2 x 100%). Ez 1040 form 2012 The dollar limitations in § 280F(a) are multiplied by a factor of 0. Ez 1040 form 2012 1966, and the resulting increases, after rounding to the nearest $100, are added to the 1988 limitations to give the depreciation limitations applicable to passenger automobiles (other than trucks and vans) for calendar year 2010. Ez 1040 form 2012 This adjustment applies to all passenger automobiles (other than trucks and vans) that are first placed in service in calendar year 2010. Ez 1040 form 2012 (b) Trucks and vans. Ez 1040 form 2012 To determine the dollar limitations for trucks and vans first placed in service during calendar year 2010, the new truck component of the CPI is used instead of the new car component. Ez 1040 form 2012 The new truck component of the CPI was 112. Ez 1040 form 2012 4 for October 1987 and 140. Ez 1040 form 2012 897 for October 2009. Ez 1040 form 2012 The October 2009 index exceeded the October 1987 index by 28. Ez 1040 form 2012 497. Ez 1040 form 2012 Therefore, the automobile price inflation adjustment for 2010 for trucks and vans is 25. Ez 1040 form 2012 35 percent (28. Ez 1040 form 2012 497/112. Ez 1040 form 2012 4 x 100%). Ez 1040 form 2012 The dollar limitations in § 280F(a) are multiplied by a factor of 0. Ez 1040 form 2012 2535, and the resulting increases, after rounding to the nearest $100, are added to the 1988 limitations to give the depreciation limitations for trucks and vans. Ez 1040 form 2012 This adjustment applies to all trucks and vans that are first placed in service in calendar year 2010. Ez 1040 form 2012 (2) Amount of the limitation. Ez 1040 form 2012 Tables 1 and 2 contain the dollar amount of the depreciation limitation for each taxable year for passenger automobiles a taxpayer places in service in calendar year 2010. Ez 1040 form 2012 Use Table 1 for a passenger automobile (other than a truck or van) and Table 2 for a truck or van placed in service in calendar year 2010. Ez 1040 form 2012 REV.

Ez 1040 form 2012 02 Inclusions in Income of Lessees of Passenger Automobiles. Ez 1040 form 2012 A taxpayer must follow the procedures in § 1. Ez 1040 form 2012 280F-7(a) for determining the inclusion amounts for passenger automobiles first leased in calendar year 2010. Ez 1040 form 2012 In applying these procedures, lessees of passenger automobiles other than trucks and vans should use Table 3 of this revenue procedure, while lessees of trucks and vans should use Table 4 of this revenue procedure.

Medical expenses are the costs of diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, and the costs for treatments affecting any part or function of the body. Ez 1040 form 2012 These expenses include payments for legal medical services rendered by physicians, surgeons, dentists, and other medical practitioners. Ez 1040 form 2012 They include the costs of equipment, supplies, and diagnostic devices needed for these purposes. Ez 1040 form 2012 Medical care expenses must be primarily to alleviate or prevent a physical or mental defect or illness. Ez 1040 form 2012 They do not include expenses that are merely beneficial to general health, such as vitamins or a vacation. Ez 1040 form 2012 Medical expenses include the premiums you pay for insurance that covers the expenses of medical care, and the amounts you pay for transportation to get medical care. Ez 1040 form 2012 Medical expenses also include amounts paid for qualified long-term care services and limited amounts paid for any qualified long-term care insurance contract. Ez 1040 form 2012 What Expenses Can You Include This Year? You can include only the medical and dental expenses you paid this year, regardless of when the services were provided. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you pay medical expenses by check, the day you mail or deliver the check generally is the date of payment. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you use a “pay-by-phone” or “online” account to pay your medical expenses, the date reported on the statement of the financial institution showing when payment was made is the date of payment. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you use a credit card, include medical expenses you charge to your credit card in the year the charge is made, not when you actually pay the amount charged. Ez 1040 form 2012 Separate returns. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you and your spouse live in a noncommunity property state and file separate returns, each of you can include only the medical expenses each actually paid. Ez 1040 form 2012 Any medical expenses paid out of a joint checking account in which you and your spouse have the same interest are considered to have been paid equally by each of you, unless you can show otherwise. Ez 1040 form 2012 Community property states. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you and your spouse live in a community property state and file separate returns, or are registered domestic partners in Nevada, Washington, or California, any medical expenses paid out of community funds are divided equally. Ez 1040 form 2012 Each of you should include half the expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 If medical expenses are paid out of the separate funds of one individual, only the individual who paid the medical expenses can include them. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you live in a community property state, and are not filing a joint return, see Publication 555, Community Property. Ez 1040 form 2012 How Much of the Expenses Can You Deduct? Generally, you can deduct on Schedule A (Form 1040) only the amount of your medical and dental expenses that is more than 10% of your AGI (7. Ez 1040 form 2012 5% of your AGI if either you or your spouse is age 65 or older)(Form 1040, line 38). Ez 1040 form 2012 Example. Ez 1040 form 2012 You are unmarried and under age 65 and your AGI is $40,000, 10% of which is $4,000. Ez 1040 form 2012 You paid medical expenses of $2,500. Ez 1040 form 2012 You cannot deduct any of your medical expenses because they are not more than 10% of your AGI. Ez 1040 form 2012 Whose Medical Expenses Can You Include? You can generally include medical expenses you pay for yourself, as well as those you pay for someone who was your spouse or your dependent either when the services were provided or when you paid for them. Ez 1040 form 2012 There are different rules for decedents and for individuals who are the subject of multiple support agreements. Ez 1040 form 2012 See Support claimed under a multiple support agreement , later. Ez 1040 form 2012 Yourself You can include medical expenses you paid for yourself. Ez 1040 form 2012 Spouse You can include medical expenses you paid for your spouse. Ez 1040 form 2012 To include these expenses, you must have been married either at the time your spouse received the medical services or at the time you paid the medical expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 Example 1. Ez 1040 form 2012 Mary received medical treatment before she married Bill. Ez 1040 form 2012 Bill paid for the treatment after they married. Ez 1040 form 2012 Bill can include these expenses in figuring his medical expense deduction even if Bill and Mary file separate returns. Ez 1040 form 2012 If Mary had paid the expenses, Bill could not include Mary's expenses in his separate return. Ez 1040 form 2012 Mary would include the amounts she paid during the year in her separate return. Ez 1040 form 2012 If they filed a joint return, the medical expenses both paid during the year would be used to figure their medical expense deduction. Ez 1040 form 2012 Example 2. Ez 1040 form 2012 This year, John paid medical expenses for his wife Louise, who died last year. Ez 1040 form 2012 John married Belle this year and they file a joint return. Ez 1040 form 2012 Because John was married to Louise when she received the medical services, he can include those expenses in figuring his medical expense deduction for this year. Ez 1040 form 2012 Dependent You can include medical expenses you paid for your dependent. Ez 1040 form 2012 For you to include these expenses, the person must have been your dependent either at the time the medical services were provided or at the time you paid the expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 A person generally qualifies as your dependent for purposes of the medical expense deduction if both of the following requirements are met. Ez 1040 form 2012 The person was a qualifying child (defined later) or a qualifying relative (defined later), and The person was a U. Ez 1040 form 2012 S. Ez 1040 form 2012 citizen or national, or a resident of the United States, Canada, or Mexico. Ez 1040 form 2012 If your qualifying child was adopted, see Exception for adopted child , next. Ez 1040 form 2012 You can include medical expenses you paid for an individual that would have been your dependent except that: He or she received gross income of $3,900 or more in 2013, He or she filed a joint return for 2013, or You, or your spouse if filing jointly, could be claimed as a dependent on someone else's 2013 return. Ez 1040 form 2012 Exception for adopted child. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you are a U. Ez 1040 form 2012 S. Ez 1040 form 2012 citizen or U. Ez 1040 form 2012 S.

Ez 1040 form 2012 Adopted child. Ez 1040 form 2012 A legally adopted child is treated as your own child. Ez 1040 form 2012 This includes a child lawfully placed with you for legal adoption. Ez 1040 form 2012 You can include medical expenses that you paid for a child before adoption if the child qualified as your dependent when the medical services were provided or when the expenses were paid. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you pay back an adoption agency or other persons for medical expenses they paid under an agreement with you, you are treated as having paid those expenses provided you clearly substantiate that the payment is directly attributable to the medical care of the child. Ez 1040 form 2012 But if you pay the agency or other person for medical care that was provided and paid for before adoption negotiations began, you cannot include them as medical expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 You may be able to take an adoption credit for other expenses related to an adoption. Ez 1040 form 2012 See the Instructions for Form 8839, Qualified Adoption Expenses, for more information. Ez 1040 form 2012 Child of divorced or separated parents. Ez 1040 form 2012 For purposes of the medical and dental expenses deduction, a child of divorced or separated parents can be treated as a dependent of both parents. Ez 1040 form 2012 Each parent can include the medical expenses he or she pays for the child, even if the other parent claims the child's dependency exemption, if: The child is in the custody of one or both parents for more than half the year, The child receives over half of his or her support during the year from his or her parents, and The child's parents: Are divorced or legally separated under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance, Are separated under a written separation agreement, or Live apart at all times during the last 6 months of the year. Ez 1040 form 2012 This does not apply if the child's exemption is being claimed under a multiple support agreement (discussed later). Ez 1040 form 2012 Qualifying Relative A qualifying relative is a person: Who is your: Son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, or a descendant of any of them (for example, your grandchild), Brother, sister, half brother, half sister, or a son or daughter of either of them, Father, mother, or an ancestor or sibling of either of them (for example, your grandmother, grandfather, aunt, or uncle), Stepbrother, stepsister, stepfather, stepmother, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, or Any other person (other than your spouse) who lived with you all year as a member of your household if your relationship did not violate local law, Who was not a qualifying child (see Qualifying Child earlier) of any other person for 2013, and For whom you provided over half of the support in 2013. Ez 1040 form 2012 But see Child of divorced or separated parents , earlier, and Support claimed under a multiple support agreement, next. Ez 1040 form 2012 Support claimed under a multiple support agreement. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you are considered to have provided more than half of a qualifying relative's support under a multiple support agreement, you can include medical expenses you pay for that person. Ez 1040 form 2012 A multiple support agreement is used when two or more people provide more than half of a person's support, but no one alone provides more than half. Ez 1040 form 2012 Any medical expenses paid by others who joined you in the agreement cannot be included as medical expenses by anyone. Ez 1040 form 2012 However, you can include the entire unreimbursed amount you paid for medical expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 Example. Ez 1040 form 2012 You and your three brothers each provide one-fourth of your mother's total support. Ez 1040 form 2012 Under a multiple support agreement, you treat your mother as your dependent. Ez 1040 form 2012 You paid all of her medical expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 Your brothers reimbursed you for three-fourths of these expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 In figuring your medical expense deduction, you can include only one-fourth of your mother's medical expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 Your brothers cannot include any part of the expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 However, if you and your brothers share the nonmedical support items and you separately pay all of your mother's medical expenses, you can include the unreimbursed amount you paid for her medical expenses in your medical expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 Decedent Medical expenses paid before death by the decedent are included in figuring any deduction for medical and dental expenses on the decedent's final income tax return. Ez 1040 form 2012 This includes expenses for the decedent's spouse and dependents as well as for the decedent. Ez 1040 form 2012 The survivor or personal representative of a decedent can choose to treat certain expenses paid by the decedent's estate for the decedent's medical care as paid by the decedent at the time the medical services were provided. Ez 1040 form 2012 The expenses must be paid within the 1-year period beginning with the day after the date of death. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you are the survivor or personal representative making this choice, you must attach a statement to the decedent's Form 1040 (or the decedent's amended return, Form 1040X) saying that the expenses have not been and will not be claimed on the estate tax return. Ez 1040 form 2012 Qualified medical expenses paid before death by the decedent are not deductible if paid with a tax-free distribution from any Archer MSA, Medicare Advantage MSA, or health savings account. Ez 1040 form 2012 Amended returns and claims for refund are discussed in chapter 1. Ez 1040 form 2012 What if you pay medical expenses of a deceased spouse or dependent? If you paid medical expenses for your deceased spouse or dependent, include them as medical expenses on your Form 1040 in the year paid, whether they are paid before or after the decedent's death. Ez 1040 form 2012 The expenses can be included if the person was your spouse or dependent either at the time the medical services were provided or at the time you paid the expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 What Medical Expenses Are Includible? Use Table 21-1, later, as a guide to determine which medical and dental expenses you can include on Schedule A (Form 1040). Ez 1040 form 2012 This table does not include all possible medical expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 To determine if an expense not listed can be included in figuring your medical expense deduction, see What Are Medical Expenses , earlier. Ez 1040 form 2012 Insurance Premiums You can include in medical expenses insurance premiums you pay for policies that cover medical care. Ez 1040 form 2012 Medical care policies can provide payment for treatment that includes: Hospitalization, surgical services, X-rays, Prescription drugs and insulin, Dental care, Replacement of lost or damaged contact lenses, and Long-term care (subject to additional limitations). Ez 1040 form 2012 See Qualified Long-Term Care Insurance Contracts in Publication 502. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you have a policy that provides payments for other than medical care, you can include the premiums for the medical care part of the policy if the charge for the medical part is reasonable. Ez 1040 form 2012 The cost of the medical part must be separately stated in the insurance contract or given to you in a separate statement. Ez 1040 form 2012 Note. Ez 1040 form 2012 When figuring the amount of insurance premiums you can include in medical expenses on Schedule A, do not include any health coverage tax credit advance payments shown in box 1 of Form 1099-H, Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) Advance Payments. Ez 1040 form 2012 Also, do not include insurance premiums attributable to a nondependent child under age 27 if your premiums increased as a result of adding this child to your policy. Ez 1040 form 2012 Employer-sponsored health insurance plan. Ez 1040 form 2012 Do not include in your medical and dental expenses any insurance premiums paid by an employer-sponsored health insurance plan unless the premiums are included in box 1 of your Form W-2. Ez 1040 form 2012 Also, do not include any other medical and dental expenses paid by the plan unless the amount paid is included in box 1 of your Form W-2. Ez 1040 form 2012 Example. Ez 1040 form 2012 You are a federal employee participating in the premium conversion plan of the Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB) program. Ez 1040 form 2012 Your share of the FEHB premium is paid by making a pre-tax reduction in your salary. Ez 1040 form 2012 Because you are an employee whose insurance premiums are paid with money that is never included in your gross income, you cannot deduct the premiums paid with that money. Ez 1040 form 2012 Long-term care services. Ez 1040 form 2012 Contributions made by your employer to provide coverage for qualified long-term care services under a flexible spending or similar arrangement must be included in your income. Ez 1040 form 2012 This amount will be reported as wages in box 1 of your Form W-2. Ez 1040 form 2012 Health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). Ez 1040 form 2012 If you have medical expenses that are reimbursed by a health reimbursement arrangement, you cannot include those expenses in your medical expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 This is because an HRA is funded solely by the employer. Ez 1040 form 2012 Retired public safety officers. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you are a retired public safety officer, do not include as medical expenses any health or long-term care premiums that you elected to have paid with tax-free distributions from your retirement plan. Ez 1040 form 2012 This applies only to distributions that would otherwise be included in income. Ez 1040 form 2012 Medicare A. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you are covered under social security (or if you are a government employee who paid Medicare tax), you are enrolled in Medicare A. Ez 1040 form 2012 The payroll tax paid for Medicare A is not a medical expense. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you are not covered under social security (or were not a government employee who paid Medicare tax), you can voluntarily enroll in Medicare A. Ez 1040 form 2012 In this situation you can include the premiums you paid for Medicare A as a medical expense. Ez 1040 form 2012 Medicare B. Ez 1040 form 2012 Medicare B is supplemental medical insurance. Ez 1040 form 2012 Premiums you pay for Medicare B are a medical expense. Ez 1040 form 2012 Check the information you received from the Social Security Administration to find out your premium. Ez 1040 form 2012 Medicare D. Ez 1040 form 2012 Medicare D is a voluntary prescription drug insurance program for persons with Medicare A or B. Ez 1040 form 2012 You can include as a medical expense premiums you pay for Medicare D. Ez 1040 form 2012 Prepaid insurance premiums. Ez 1040 form 2012 Premiums you pay before you are age 65 for insurance for medical care for yourself, your spouse, or your dependents after you reach age 65 are medical care expenses in the year paid if they are: Payable in equal yearly installments, or more often, and Payable for at least 10 years, or until you reach age 65 (but not for less than 5 years). Ez 1040 form 2012 Unused sick leave used to pay premiums. Ez 1040 form 2012 You must include in gross income cash payments you receive at the time of retirement for unused sick leave. Ez 1040 form 2012 You also must include in gross income the value of unused sick leave that, at your option, your employer applies to the cost of your continuing participation in your employer's health plan after you retire. Ez 1040 form 2012 You can include this cost of continuing participation in the health plan as a medical expense. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you participate in a health plan where your employer automatically applies the value of unused sick leave to the cost of your continuing participation in the health plan (and you do not have the option to receive cash), do not include the value of the unused sick leave in gross income. Ez 1040 form 2012 You cannot include this cost of continuing participation in that health plan as a medical expense. Ez 1040 form 2012 Table 21-1. Ez 1040 form 2012 Medical and Dental Expenses Checklist. Ez 1040 form 2012 See Publication 502 for more information about these and other expenses.

Ez 1040 form 2012 See Nursing home , later. Ez 1040 form 2012 You may be able to include in medical expenses the cost of lodging not provided in a hospital or similar institution. Ez 1040 form 2012 You can include the cost of such lodging while away from home if all of the following requirements are met. Ez 1040 form 2012 The lodging is primarily for and essential to medical care. Ez 1040 form 2012 The medical care is provided by a doctor in a licensed hospital or in a medical care facility related to, or the equivalent of, a licensed hospital. Ez 1040 form 2012 The lodging is not lavish or extravagant under the circumstances. Ez 1040 form 2012 There is no significant element of personal pleasure, recreation, or vacation in the travel away from home. Ez 1040 form 2012 The amount you include in medical expenses for lodging cannot be more than $50 for each night for each person. Ez 1040 form 2012 You can include lodging for a person traveling with the person receiving the medical care. Ez 1040 form 2012 For example, if a parent is traveling with a sick child, up to $100 per night can be included as a medical expense for lodging. Ez 1040 form 2012 Meals are not included. Ez 1040 form 2012 Nursing home. Ez 1040 form 2012 You can include in medical expenses the cost of medical care in a nursing home, home for the aged, or similar institution, for yourself, your spouse, or your dependents. Ez 1040 form 2012 This includes the cost of meals and lodging in the home if a principal reason for being there is to get medical care. Ez 1040 form 2012 Do not include the cost of meals and lodging if the reason for being in the home is personal. Ez 1040 form 2012 You can, however, include in medical expenses the part of the cost that is for medical or nursing care. Ez 1040 form 2012 Transportation Include in medical expenses amounts paid for transportation primarily for, and essential to, medical care. Ez 1040 form 2012 You can include: Bus, taxi, train, or plane fares, or ambulance service, Transportation expenses of a parent who must go with a child who needs medical care, Transportation expenses of a nurse or other person who can give injections, medications, or other treatment required by a patient who is traveling to get medical care and is unable to travel alone, and Transportation expenses for regular visits to see a mentally ill dependent, if these visits are recommended as a part of treatment. Ez 1040 form 2012 Car expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 You can include out-of-pocket expenses, such as the cost of gas and oil, when you use your car for medical reasons. Ez 1040 form 2012 You cannot include depreciation, insurance, general repair, or maintenance expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you do not want to use your actual expenses for 2013, you can use the standard medical mileage rate of 24 cents per mile. Ez 1040 form 2012 You can also include parking fees and tolls. Ez 1040 form 2012 You can add these fees and tolls to your medical expenses whether you use actual expenses or use the standard mileage rate. Ez 1040 form 2012 Example. Ez 1040 form 2012 In 2013, Bill Jones drove 2,800 miles for medical reasons. Ez 1040 form 2012 He spent $500 for gas, $30 for oil, and $100 for tolls and parking. Ez 1040 form 2012 He wants to figure the amount he can include in medical expenses both ways to see which gives him the greater deduction. Ez 1040 form 2012 He figures the actual expenses first. Ez 1040 form 2012 He adds the $500 for gas, the $30 for oil, and the $100 for tolls and parking for a total of $630. Ez 1040 form 2012 He then figures the standard mileage amount. Ez 1040 form 2012 He multiplies 2,800 miles by 24 cents a mile for a total of $672. Ez 1040 form 2012 He then adds the $100 tolls and parking for a total of $772. Ez 1040 form 2012 Bill includes the $772 of car expenses with his other medical expenses for the year because the $772 is more than the $630 he figured using actual expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 Transportation expenses you cannot include. Ez 1040 form 2012 You cannot include in medical expenses the cost of transportation in the following situations. Ez 1040 form 2012 Going to and from work, even if your condition requires an unusual means of transportation. Ez 1040 form 2012 Travel for purely personal reasons to another city for an operation or other medical care. Ez 1040 form 2012 Travel that is merely for the general improvement of one's health. Ez 1040 form 2012 The costs of operating a specially equipped car for other than medical reasons. Ez 1040 form 2012 Disabled Dependent Care Expenses Some disabled dependent care expenses may qualify as either: Medical expenses, or Work-related expenses for purposes of taking a credit for dependent care. Ez 1040 form 2012 (See chapter 32 and Publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 ) You can choose to apply them either way as long as you do not use the same expenses to claim both a credit and a medical expense deduction. Ez 1040 form 2012 How Do You Treat Reimbursements? You can include in medical expenses only those amounts paid during the taxable year for which you received no insurance or other reimbursement. Ez 1040 form 2012 Insurance Reimbursement You must reduce your total medical expenses for the year by all reimbursements for medical expenses that you receive from insurance or other sources during the year. Ez 1040 form 2012 This includes payments from Medicare. Ez 1040 form 2012 Even if a policy provides reimbursement for only certain specific medical expenses, you must use amounts you receive from that policy to reduce your total medical expenses, including those it does not reimburse. Ez 1040 form 2012 Example. Ez 1040 form 2012 You have insurance policies that cover your hospital and doctors' bills but not your nursing bills. Ez 1040 form 2012 The insurance you receive for the hospital and doctors' bills is more than their charges. Ez 1040 form 2012 In figuring your medical deduction, you must reduce the total amount you spent for medical care by the total amount of insurance you received, even if the policies do not cover some of your medical expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 Health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). Ez 1040 form 2012 A health reimbursement arrangement is an employer-funded plan that reimburses employees for medical care expenses and allows unused amounts to be carried forward. Ez 1040 form 2012 An HRA is funded solely by the employer and the reimbursements for medical expenses, up to a maximum dollar amount for a coverage period, are not included in your income. Ez 1040 form 2012 Other reimbursements. Ez 1040 form 2012 Generally, you do not reduce medical expenses by payments you receive for: Permanent loss or loss of use of a member or function of the body (loss of limb, sight, hearing, etc. Ez 1040 form 2012 ) or disfigurement to the extent the payment is based on the nature of the injury without regard to the amount of time lost from work, or Loss of earnings. Ez 1040 form 2012 You must, however, reduce your medical expenses by any part of these payments that is designated for medical costs. Ez 1040 form 2012 See How Do You Figure and Report the Deduction on Your Tax Return , later. Ez 1040 form 2012 For how to treat damages received for personal injury or sickness, see Damages for Personal Injuries , later. Ez 1040 form 2012 You do not have a medical deduction if you are reimbursed for all of your medical expenses for the year. Ez 1040 form 2012 Excess reimbursement. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you are reimbursed more than your medical expenses, you may have to include the excess in income. Ez 1040 form 2012 You may want to use Figure 21-A to help you decide if any of your reimbursement is taxable. Ez 1040 form 2012 Premiums paid by you. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you pay either the entire premium for your medical insurance or all of the costs of a plan similar to medical insurance and your insurance payments or other reimbursements are more than your total medical expenses for the year, you have an excess reimbursement. Ez 1040 form 2012 Generally, you do not include the excess reimbursement in your gross income. Ez 1040 form 2012 Premiums paid by you and your employer. Ez 1040 form 2012 If both you and your employer contribute to your medical insurance plan and your employer's contributions are not included in your gross income, you must include in your gross income the part of your excess reimbursement that is from your employer's contribution. Ez 1040 form 2012 See Publication 502 to figure the amount of the excess reimbursement you must include in gross income. Ez 1040 form 2012 Reimbursement in a later year. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you are reimbursed in a later year for medical expenses you deducted in an earlier year, you generally must report the reimbursement as income up to the amount you previously deducted as medical expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 However, do not report as income the amount of reimbursement you received up to the amount of your medical deductions that did not reduce your tax for the earlier year. Ez 1040 form 2012 For more information about the recovery of an amount that you claimed as an itemized deduction in an earlier year, see Itemized Deduction Recoveries in chapter 12. Ez 1040 form 2012 Figure 21-A. Ez 1040 form 2012 Is Your Excess Medical Reimbursement Taxable? Please click here for the text description of the image. Ez 1040 form 2012 Figure 21-A. Ez 1040 form 2012 Is Your Excess Medical Reimbursement Taxable? Medical expenses not deducted. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you did not deduct a medical expense in the year you paid it because your medical expenses were not more than 10% of your AGI (7. Ez 1040 form 2012 5% of your AGI if either you or your spouse was age 65 or older), or because you did not itemize deductions, do not include the reimbursement up to the amount of the expense in income. Ez 1040 form 2012 However, if the reimbursement is more than the expense, see Excess reimbursement , earlier. Ez 1040 form 2012 Example. Ez 1040 form 2012 For 2013, you were unmarried and under age 65 and you had medical expenses of $500. Ez 1040 form 2012 You cannot deduct the $500 because it is less than 10% of your AGI. Ez 1040 form 2012 If, in a later year, you are reimbursed for any of the $500 in medical expenses, you do not include the amount reimbursed in your gross income. Ez 1040 form 2012 Damages for Personal Injuries If you receive an amount in settlement of a personal injury suit, part of that award may be for medical expenses that you deducted in an earlier year. Ez 1040 form 2012 If it is, you must include that part in your income in the year you receive it to the extent it reduced your taxable income in the earlier year. Ez 1040 form 2012 See Reimbursement in a Later Year , discussed under How Do You Treat Reimbursements, earlier. Ez 1040 form 2012 Future medical expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you receive an amount in settlement of a damage suit for personal injuries, part of that award may be for future medical expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 If it is, you must reduce any future medical expenses for these injuries until the amount you received has been completely used. Ez 1040 form 2012 How Do You Figure and Report the Deduction on Your Tax Return? Once you have determined which medical expenses you can include, you figure and report the deduction on your tax return. Ez 1040 form 2012 What Tax Form Do You Use? You figure your medical expense deduction on Schedule A (Form 1040). Ez 1040 form 2012 You cannot claim medical expenses on Form 1040A or Form 1040EZ. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you need more information on itemized deductions or you are not sure if you can itemize, see chapter 20. Ez 1040 form 2012 Enter the amount you paid for medical and dental expenses on Schedule A (Form 1040). Ez 1040 form 2012 This should be your expenses that were not reimbursed by insurance or any other sources. Ez 1040 form 2012 Generally, you can deduct only the amount of your medical and dental expenses that is more than 10% of your AGI (7. Ez 1040 form 2012 5% if either you or your spouse was age 65 or older) shown on line 38, Form 1040. Ez 1040 form 2012 Impairment-Related Work Expenses If you are a person with a disability, you can take a business deduction for expenses that are necessary for you to be able to work. Ez 1040 form 2012 If you take a business deduction for impairment-related work expenses, do not take a medical deduction for the same expenses. Ez 1040 form 2012 You have a disability if you have: A physical or mental disability (for example, blindness or deafness) that functionally limits your being employed, or A physical or mental impairment (for example, a sight or hearing impairment) that substantially limits one or more of your major life activities, such as performing manual tasks, walking, speaking, breathing, learning, or working. Ez 1040 form 2012 Impairment-related expenses defined. Ez 1040 form 2012 Impairment-related expenses are those ordinary and necessary business expenses that are: Necessary for you to do your work satisfactorily, For goods and services not required or used, other than incidentally, in your personal activities, and Not specifically covered under other income tax laws. Ez 1040 form 2012 Where to report.
