Quick Reference
Medical expenses are defined by the IRS 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. Snoring aids can be used for general comfort or to alleviate nuisance snoring, which would not be eligible. However, if snoring is a symptom of a diagnosed medical condition, such as obstructive sleep apnea, then aids used to treat that condition may be eligible.
