Hi Sofia25,
The deductible medical expenses are considered a non-refundable tax credit, meaning they can help lower how much taxes you’d have to pay.
To qualify, your household’s eligible medical expenses must add up to the lesser of 3% of your net income or $2,479. For example, if your net income is $60,000, all medical expenses beyond $1,800 are a credit against your taxable income. This may be the reason that your "balance due" has not gone down.
