Can I claim medical marijuana or cannabis products as a medical expense?

by TurboTax Updated 6 days ago

Qualifying taxpayers can claim expenses for medical marijuana and cannabis products in order to receive the nonrefundable medical expenses tax credit.

  • If you have a prescription and buy your products from a licenced seller with whom you’re a registered client, you can claim cannabis, cannabis oil, cannabis plant seeds, and cannabis products.
  • If you legally grow cannabis for your own medical purposes, you can't claim equipment costs such as pots, soil, nutrients, and lights.
  • Cannabis expenses are entered into TurboTax the same way as other medical expenses.
