Quick Reference
The IRS defines medical expenses as amounts paid for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body. Bug spray is typically considered a general health item for personal use and does not directly treat or prevent a specific medical condition in the way the IRS defines qualified medical expenses.
