Home Testing Kits for COVID-19 Are Eligible Medical Expenses

If you buy a home testing kit, you may treat it as a deductible medical expense if you itemize deductions (IR-2021-181). It is an expense for the diagnosis of a medical condition. The cost of it may also be reimbursed through a health flexible spending account (FSA), a Health Savings Account (HSA), a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA), or an Archer Medical Savings Account.
