Helping you make smart bankruptcy decisions

Am I able to claim medical bills that were filed in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy on my taxes?

I'm uninsured and was rushed to the hospital and the total bills were over $14,000.00. I ended up having to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy since I don't make enough to pay them back. I need to know if I can file it on my taxes since I'm paying them back but not all of it.

You can only claim medical expenses that you PAID in 2007, and only those expenses that exceeded 7.5% of your income for the year.
