The IRS allows you to deduct the cost of driving for medical purposes, including trips to the doctor, as part of your medical expenses deduction. However, you can only deduct the amount that exceeds 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2020. For example, if your AGI is $50,000, you can only deduct medical expenses that exceed $3,750. In 2021, this threshold will increase to 10% of your AGI. The standard mileage rate for medical purposes in 2020 is 17 cents per mile. You can also include tolls and parking fees. Remember to keep detailed records of your mileage, dates, and reasons for your trips.
