This is an excerpt from an Answer Explanation in Wiley:
“These expenses (Medical), which total $3,150, are deductible to the extent they exceed 10% of adjusted gross income, and result in a deduction of $150 ($3,150-$3,000).
Why is 10% applied instead of 7.5%? Does anyone know?
Law keeps changing about the medical expenses. Currently, you can deduct medical expenses that exceed 10% of AGI if you’re itemizing. So, Wiley is correct. Perhaps, the 7.5% is from a book of an older version?
