Expert Solution

Answer:

Medical expense deduction =	$2810 - Allowable medical expense
	<545> - Insurance reimbursement
	2265
	<1740> 7.5% of AGI
	$0 - Amount of deduction

Even though prescribed by a physician the cost of the marijuana is not deductible because it cannot be legally procured per federal statute. Over the counter drugs are also not a permitted qualifying medical expense.
