The IRS has reported concerns over the common interpretation regarding the difference between medical expenses and their relation to deductions or reimbursements. Personal expenses for general health and wellness do not count as medical expenses for IRS purposes. However, due to similarities, many individuals and even companies have made the error of conflating the two.
This is important for personal and organizational purposes. For individuals, they may be tempted to write up certain wellness products as reimbursements. For companies, they may mistakenly belief, or falsely claim, that self-reporting may be all that is needed to make expenses which are not specifically targeted for the purposes of a diagnosis, might be a medical expense under tax law.
When people confuse the definition of medical expense under tax law, they are at risk of either being exploited or becoming disadvantaged. Because of this it is crucial to be well-informed when it comes to any issue regarding the law. The IRS provides many resources from which you can learn about the technicalities of tax code.
