<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi everyone: Here is the summary for taking tax deductions on gf food. Thanks to the folks who sent information! This information can be found at: http://www.celiac.com/tax.html I would like to ask that you please do not email me with questions-- since I do not take deductions for gf food, I don't have any other information than what you can find at the above web site. To summarize, you: * need to fall under the appropriate income categories to take medical deductions on your Schedule A tax form * need a detailed doctor's note stating your condition and that it affects your diet for life * can take the difference in cost between a gf product and the non-gf product -so if a loaf of regular bread costs $2 and a loaf of gf bread costs $3, you can deduct $1 -you must save all receipts and do research into cost of non-gf products * can deduct the cost things like xanthan gum (because they have no non-gf equivalent) * can deduct shipping costs and mileage to and from special stores to get your gf food A couple of people claimed that this type of a deduction is a red flag for an audit, so you must keep detailed receipts and records. --Jeanne
