If I get A Prescription, then....
« on: May 03, 2014, 07:17:41 pm »
If my doctor writes me a prescription for a spa then is Sales taxes added in or not? I'm handicapped with a cane.
Will Spa/Hot tub Dealers be able to work with me if I get a prescription and does it qualify as a tax deduction?
Any help, Thank You
I'm in Texas...

Great question! I am wondering the same thing as my husband and I both suffer from back problems. I know when we purchased our last mattress, the store was willing to take the sales tax off with a script. I have been wondering the same thing about the tubs. I have not had a chance to ask my dr. yet.

Ask a couple local dealers who should know what the deal is in your state.
220, 221, whatever it takes!

I know that Illinois you used to be able to deduct the sales tax, but the law changed several years ago and we can no longer get in on that savings. Every state is different so you need to ask your local dealer. As far as tax deductions go, if you are 65 years or older and itemize your deductions, you CAN deduct all medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income through 2016. It used to be 7.5% for everyone but the IRS recently raised it to 10%. I would include a copy of the RX from your doctor when you file your return. You should call your accountant though to be sure of how this purchase will affect you.
