Adderall and ADHD medication

$30-$300/mo

Is Adderall and ADHD Medication Tax Deductible?

Short answer: Yes when prescribed: Adderall and ADHD medication is a deductible medical expense (and HSA/FSA eligible) if prescribed to treat a diagnosed condition like obesity or diabetes.

It counts toward the medical deduction only above 7.5% of AGI and only if you itemize. Purely cosmetic use doesn't qualify.

Records to keep: Keep the receipt or invoice and an estimate of business-use percentage.
