I asked this question already, and I got good answer, especially from our wonderful Panda. I search for that discussion but could not find it (perhaps it was in the old forum?). So here we go again...

In 2025 I/we spent much for health care, dentist, ca 9keur.
I intend to report these costs in the 2025 Steuererklaerung, the one I will file sometime in 2026.

1) For the dentist (more than 90% of my/our health care related cost), I have of course the Rechnungen, and proof of payment. But for the other, minor, expenses (purchases at the Apotheke), I don't have the Rechnungen (I have proof of payments, from our online banking, it clearly shows "Apotheke" but that's all I'm afraid). Can I nevertheless include also these Apotheke cost? I presume no.

2) how much money will I get back from the FA?

3) where exactly do I enter this stuff?

Thank you,

Happy End of 2025 everyone

Yes, you can always claim for everything at the dentist (except bleaching, since that is not medically necessary).

No, since they were not prescribed by a medical doctor, i.e. were not medically necessary.

At your income, roughly 33%.

In "Anlage Außergewöhnliche Belastungen", one page 2 in the section "Andere Aufwendungen" --> "Krankheitskosten": https://www.steuertipps.de/finanzamt-fo ... elastungen

Panda, thank you very much.

Yep, exactly, thank you very much for digging it out.
But now you embarrassed me that I couldn't find it myself, never mind...
