We already kept a careful budget (using the program YNAB) and had a separate category for medical. We assumed it would be easy to just stick that total into our taxes.
Imagine our surprise to see that instead of one lump sum for “medical,” we had to categorize it! There were separate entries for prescriptions, doctor bills, facilities, labs, and more.
- Prescriptions
- Medical Professionals
- Facilities
- X-Rays and Lab Work
- Long-Term Care
- Glasses and Contacts
- Supplies and Equipment
- Travel Expenses
