I may be overthinking this.

Client is now receiving her Long Term Care benefits (reimbursement amount, so nontaxable). 

Question: When I total all her medical expenses do I need to then subtract the dollar amount of benefits received from LTC from her total medical expense to get to her medical deduction??

Then of course I would apply the 10% reduction on Schedule A.

I have tried hard to find an answer, but no definitive answer seems to be available.

Thank you, Pattg2
