Orthodontist

My orthodontist is 231 miles away from where I live. I go to appointments every six weeks. I know that you are able to deduct medical miles - does it count for the orthodontist?

“I know that you are able to deduct medical miles - does it count for the orthodontist?”----> Typical transportation expenses, which include taxi fare, mileage, tolls and parking, travel to and from facilities where medical treatment is given can be included as a dental expense. Insurance premiums for health care that you paid (not part of an employer's plan) may be included as an expense. You need to multiply the number of medical miles driven by 16.5 cents for 2010~2011or the current year's IRS milage deduction. Deduct this amount as part of your Schedule A line 1 itemization on your taxes
