Health conscious taxpayers can lower their taxes on their weight-loss programs. In some instances, weight-loss programs can count as a deductible medical expense.
But make sure you qualify for this deduction.
The diet program must be medically necessary.
Acceptable situations include, for instance, when a doctor recommends the regimen to reduce the health risks of obesity or hypertension.
And the allowable expenses still must meet the 7.5 percent income threshold for medical deductions.
