What can be withheld for medical items on fed taxes?
I am doing my taxes on turbo tax and need to know exactly what I can deduct. My wife says , Preiums for insurance, travel to Doc appt. Is there a specific list of deductables?

All speeded out in Pub 502

Publication 502 (2008), Medical and Dental Expenses (http://www.irs.gov/publications/p502/index.html)

Remember they are deductable only after a certain percentage of, I believe, AGI.

Travel is deductable. There is a specific mileage rate to use. Premiums are deductable.
