is in vitro tax deductible
Submitted by Shelby D Burns Wed 10/03/2012. In vitro fertilization is one way couples struggling with infertility may realize their dream of making a family. With the average IVF cycle cost being about $12,300, the cost can be prohibitive. Fortunately, you may be able to claim an income tax deduction for the costs.Since January 2011, IVF has qualified as a deductible medical expense. The amount which can be deducted varies per person since it is a percentage of adjusted gross income.ou can include costs for yourself, your spouse or any dependents you have at the time. Medical deductions include any amount you paid for in vitro fertilization or storage of sperm or eggs. You can also include the cost of surgery if the purpose was to reverse a condition that prevented conception.
