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. X-rays are a standard diagnostic tool used by medical professionals to identify and monitor various medical conditions, directly aligning with this definition.

When It Doesn't
