But in your post you said you can not deduct "anything" except prescription drugs. If you are referring to medications, yes it must be prescribed (except insulin), but many other things can be deducted. I read your post literally when you were only referring to medications. I have had experienced preparers try to argue the issue that band aids, braces( for sprains, not oral) etc do not count because they were not prescribed. Many of those other items do count.

The only issue is that I read your post to read any items and you meant to refer to medications.
