Tax Facts: Special Diet as a Medical Expense

Posted by McDonald & Osborne Posted on Oct 09 2015

Did you know….

According to The Kiplinger Tax Letter’s September issue, the IRS privately ruled that a portion of the cost of a special diet can qualify as a medical expense if the diet is prescribed by a doctor.
