: Financed medical expenses and tax deductions I am currently making payments on a ~4k loan that was paid directly to the doctor for laser eye surgery. Can I deduct the 4k loan as a health expense? Or the payments I am making

You deduct expenses when you incur them (when you pay the hospital, for example). Medical expenses are deducted on Schedule A, subject to 7.5% AGI threshold. Financed or not - doesn't matter. The medical expense is deductible (if it is medically necessary), the loan interest is not.
