Can You Write Off Medical Expenses for 1099 Workers?
Short answer: Only insurance premiums are a business-style deduction; copays and doctor bills are itemized medical expenses above 7.5% of AGI.
An HSA lets you pay those bills pre-tax.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
