Is varicose vein treatment performed by a physician considered to be a valid medical expense?

Thanks for choosing TurboTax. It depends on whether the treatment was performed for cosmetic purposes. If it is done for cosmetic purposes, then you can't claim the expense as a medical expense. In order to claim it as a medical expense, you will need to show this treatment for medical purposes instead of cosmetic purposes.
