The details about condom deductions

If you practice safe sex, the IRS has some positive news for you. Condoms are now eligible for itemized deductions, as reported by Medora Lee.

With the IRS’s recent announcement of new tax brackets, standard deductions, and other key items for the 2025 tax season, it also released Notice 2024-71. This notice states that condoms purchased for the taxpayer, spouse, or dependents can now be classified as a medical expense and deducted if you opt for itemizing and your total medical expenses exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) for that year. AGI is your overall income minus any deductions or adjustments you’re eligible to claim.

Interestingly, condoms are just one of many medical-related expenses now eligible for tax deductions.
