Family therapy
$100-$250/session
Can You Write Off Family Therapy?
Short answer: Yes when it's part of treating a family member's diagnosed condition, such as a child's behavioral disorder.
Medical costs are an itemized deduction only for the amount above 7.5% of your AGI, and only if your itemized total beats the standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint for 2026).
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
