*Loren* asked:
Is this true? Are fertility medications such as Clomid included?
Is this true? Are fertility medications such as Clomid included?
Anyone have more details?
Also if this is true, can i claim the meds and such from last year, or do i need receipts and stuff?
Iv been TTC since July 06, On Clomid since Sept. 07.
Spent God only knows how much on Pregnancy Test, Ovulation Kits, Books, Meds and so on…
Just grasping at the chance to get the money back for some of these things

Yes you can. I’ve included the IRS link to publication 502, which outlines medical expenses that can be deducted.
Typically, it covers expenses you incurred to diagnose or treat a disease. If infertility is the disease, then you should be able to deduct the cost of diagnosing it (all the infertility tests you went through with your dr), as well as the cost of treating it (clomid, IVF, etc).
I’m iffy if ovulation predictor kits are covered. To be deductible, an expense must be used to either diagnose or treat a disease. An ovulation predictor kit does not treat any disease. But, in some circumstances, it could be used to diagnose, in a way. If the cause of your infertility is anovulation, then you could argue that the ovulation kits were necessary to help ”diagnose” (i.e. to learn that you were not ovulating).
I’m in infertility treatment too. I hope we both get a bundle of joy in 2008
