Genetic testing (23andMe health reports)
$100-$500
Can You Write Off Genetic Testing?
Short answer: Partly: the share of the price for health-related reports can count; ancestry reports don't.
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.
