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. Wound care supplies, such as bandages, gauze, and antiseptic wipes, are directly used for the treatment and mitigation of injuries or medical conditions, making them qualified medical expenses.
