The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to treat dietary supplements as qualified medical expenses under certain tax provisions.

  • Section 223(d)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986

    For purposes of this paragraph, amounts paid for dietary supplements shall be treated as medical care to the extent that such amounts do not exceed $500 ($250 in the case of a married individual filing a separate return) for any taxable year.

    This allows expenditures on dietary supplements to qualify as medical expenses under Health Savings Accounts.

  • Section 223(d)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986

    (E) Dietary supplement.--For purposes of this paragraph-- (i) In general.--The term `dietary supplement' has the meaning given such term under section 201(ff) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321(ff)). (ii) Exclusion.--Such term shall not include any product marketed, labeled, or commonly understood to be an energy drink, soft drink, or soda.

    This provides a specific definition of dietary supplements while excluding certain beverages.

  • Section 220(d)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986

    the last sentence → For purposes of this paragraph, amounts paid for dietary supplements (as defined in section 220(d)(2)(E)) shall be treated as medical care to the extent that such amounts do not exceed $500 ($250 in the case of a married individual filing a separate return) for any taxable year.

    This amendment extends the medical expense treatment of dietary supplements to Archer Medical Savings Accounts.

  • Section 106 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986

    (h) Dietary Supplements.--For purposes of this section and section 105, expenses incurred for dietary supplements (as defined in section 223(d)(2)(D)) shall be treated as incurred for medical care to the extent that such amounts do not exceed $500 ($250 in the case of a married individual filing a separate return) for any taxable year.

    This allows expenses for dietary supplements to qualify as medical care under Health Flexible Spending Arrangements and Health Reimbursement Arrangements.
