【个税一点通】专项附加扣除常见问题——大病医疗篇（一，二）

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the common questions regarding the special additional deduction for serious illness medical expenses, focusing on the relationship between the "deductible threshold" and the deduction limit, as well as eligibility for deductions for family members' medical expenses [2][3]. Group 1: Deduction Threshold and Limits - The deductible threshold for taxpayers is set at 15,000 yuan, meaning that only the medical expenses exceeding this amount can be deducted, up to a limit of 80,000 yuan [3][4]. - Taxpayers can choose to deduct medical expenses incurred by themselves or their spouses, and for minor children, deductions can be calculated separately for each parent [5]. Group 2: Family Medical Expenses - If both spouses have qualifying serious illness medical expenses, they can choose to deduct the expenses under the husband's name, with each having a maximum deduction limit of 80,000 yuan, totaling a maximum of 160,000 yuan [6]. - Medical expenses incurred by the taxpayer's parents are not eligible for tax deductions under the current regulations [7]. Group 3: Cross-Year Medical Expenses - For medical expenses incurred at the end of one year and settled at the beginning of the next year, the deduction is based on the settlement date, meaning it will be considered as a medical expense for the following year [10]. Group 4: Private Hospital Expenses - Expenses incurred at private hospitals can qualify for the serious illness medical deduction if they are recorded in the medical insurance settlement system [11]. Group 5: Important Considerations - Taxpayers should retain original or copied receipts for medical service charges for verification purposes when claiming deductions [12]. - Taxpayers can also check their previous year's medical expenses through the medical insurance management information system to ensure they meet the deduction criteria [13].
