Can You Write Off Teeth Whitening?
Short answer: No, teeth whitening is cosmetic and not deductible.
Restorative dental work is deductible; whitening is not.
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.
