Question

What percentage does the medical expenses take off our taxes? I just entered a $700.00 orthotics cost that was declined by my insurance provider?

As a "test".

    You don't get a set percentage off.

     

    You can claim the total of the eligible medical expenses minus the lesser of the following amounts:

    $2,759
    3% of your net income (line 23600 of your tax return)

     

    If the total of your medical expenses are less than $2,759 or 3% of your net income, then you don't get the medical expenses credit for the year. But you might be able to claim the expense on your tax return next year.
