    monthly health tax = $500

    Total for the year = $500 * 12 = $6000

    Doctor bills = $200

    AGI = $45,000

    Note: Taxpayers under the age of 65 are not able to deduct medical expenses until they exceed 10% Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), which is calculated as the difference between the Total Gross Income and some deductibles.

    Isabella is 50, and can only deduct medical expenses when they exceed 10% of AGI.

    TOTAL medical expenses = $6000 + $200 = $6200

    10% of AGI = 45,000 * 0.1 = $4500

    Therefore, Health expenses is more than 10% AGI.

    Therefore, itemized deduction;

    $6200 - $4500 = $1700
