How to get a tax deduction If the treatment was paid for by a family member Deadline for personal income tax refund Amount of deduction for dental treatment Reasons for refusing the deduction
According to general rules, tax deductions are provided to personal income tax payers at a rate of 13%. Pensions are not taxed, so retirees are not entitled to tax compensation unless they have other sources of taxable income.
Let's talk about how pensioners can compensate for the costs of dental treatment.
Tax deduction for dental prosthetics: what is it?
The tax deduction for dental treatment and prosthetics is 13% of the total cost of dental services provided. The indicated amount should not exceed the amount of transferred income tax for one year in which the treatment was carried out. The limit on the amount to be refunded is 120,000 rubles.
You can take advantage of the opportunity to receive a social deduction annually within the specified limit. The taxpayer has the right to partial reimbursement of both his own medical expenses and those of close relatives.

Under what conditions is the deduction granted?
In order to return part of the paid funds, a number of mandatory conditions must be met:
- having a permanent official job with personal income tax payment in the amount of 13% of the monthly salary;
- payment was made at your own expense or with the help of relatives;
- dentistry has a license giving the right to carry out certain work;
- the statute of limitations for undergoing therapy does not exceed three years;
- Documents confirming payment (receipts, contracts) have been saved.
You can apply for a tax deduction for dental prosthetics within 3 years from the date of treatment.
We count the amounts
The law allows deductions for income tax in the amount of a maximum of 13%: that is, more than personal income tax was paid cannot be returned. The largest refund amount could be 13% of the funds spent.
Another limitation is related to the established maximum tax refunds - 120 thousand rubles. Therefore, you will be able to return no more than 15,600 rubles. (13% of the maximum allowed amount).
This applies to all deductions in total, and not just to compensation for treatment costs. Percentage of personal income tax from the maximum 120,000 rubles. includes the amount of all required social deductions (for studies, contributions to the pension fund and, accordingly, treatment).
There are no restrictions for expensive medical services
There is an additional list of expensive medical services that are reimbursed without a limit. That is, for them you can achieve a 13% deduction from their full cost, in addition to other deductions other than treatment.
FOR EXAMPLE. Enterprise employee V.O. Klimenko with a salary of 40 thousand rubles. per month paid for dental treatment for his wife for 150,000 rubles, and he himself underwent an operation costing 300,000 rubles. We will calculate the personal income tax deduction due to him. Income Klimenko V.O. for the year amounted to 40,000 x 12 = 480,000 rubles. The tax on this amount will be 13% - 62,400 rubles. Dental treatment is not included in the list of expensive medical events, so the largest deduction for it can be from the amount of 120 thousand rubles. (13% return, that is, 15,600 rubles). The operation is included in this list, therefore it will be compensated in full, that is, in the amount of 13% of the amount paid: 300,000 x 0.13 = 39,000 rubles. The amount assigned for return is 15,600 + 39,000 = 54,600. Since the amount of personal income tax paid by V.O. Klimenko amounted to a large figure (62,400 rubles), he will be able to make the entire deduction at a time.
The procedure for filing a deduction for dental prosthetics
There are two ways to reimburse funds: the Federal Tax Service at the place of registration or by the employer. The first option involves transferring funds to your personal account one-time in full. The second is receiving a salary without deducting personal income tax within the deduction amount.
Registration procedure
- It is necessary to keep the contract and receipts for payment, including diagnostics, therapy, and production of prostheses.
- After a year, contact a medical institution and request a certificate of a certain form.
- Fill out a declaration of income, where you indicate the right to a refund.
- Send the declaration and package of documents to the Federal Tax Service at the place of registration;
- Wait for the results of the desk audit within three months.
- To receive funds, write an application indicating account details for the tax service or provide a document to the employer.
You can file an income declaration yourself on the inspection website www.nalog.ru, as well as in the taxpayer’s individual account. There you can track the progress of the desk audit and decisions on payments.
Required documents
To receive a refund, you must collect and correctly complete a package of documentation. To receive a tax deduction for dental treatment and prosthetics you will need the following:
- certificate of payment for dental services in an approved form;
- cash receipts confirming payment made;
- 2NDFL certificate from the employer;
- income declaration 3NDFL;
- agreement with dentistry;
- duplicate license for medical procedures.
Tax deduction for pensioners
The main condition for a refund is payment of income tax. Many pensioners do not have additional sources of money other than pension payments. The law outlines the conditions for processing social deductions for persons of retirement age.
The right to a refund exists if the pensioner:
- continues to work and make tax deductions;
- there are working relatives (spouse, children, brothers, sisters) who will be able to accept a tax deduction for dental prosthetics;
- receives income from other sources and pays taxes.
Failure Cases
The Federal Tax Service has the right to refuse a tax deduction in the following cases:
- insufficient package of documents, there is no confirmation of the right to receive benefits;
- payment was made by a person who is not a relative of the taxpayer;
- a tax refund for the taxable year was received earlier;
- submitting documents for a child over 18 years of age;
- critical errors when filling out the declaration;
- The dentist's license has been revoked;
- therapy was carried out outside the country;
- the employer did not provide a tax report;
- a package of documents was sent to the Federal Tax Service not at the place of registration.
In case of refusal, the inspection sends information to the applicant and explains the reason. It is necessary to make the appropriate changes and provide the missing documents, then apply for a tax refund again. If the taxpayer does not agree with the refusal, he can challenge the decision of the Federal Tax Service within a year. Repeated denial of social opportunity becomes the reason for filing an application to court.
Examples of personal income tax returns
You can return money for treatment either according to the general procedure, with tax calculated from a maximum base of 120,000 rubles, or for expensive services, for which the tax is refunded from the full cost of services. An exhaustive list of medical services classified as expensive has been approved by the Tax Inspectorate. Such procedures include IVF, complex operations to correct congenital pathologies, treatment of genetic diseases, cancer, severe forms of diseases of various organs and systems, surgical operations, nursing premature babies born weighing less than 1.5 kg, etc. With the current list, you can check out the official website of the Federal Tax Service.
Important! The certificate issued by the medical institution indicates a code that classifies the services received as inexpensive (code 1) or expensive (code 2).
Tax refund for dental prosthetics
Pensioners often receive a tax deduction for dental prosthetics, since the problem is very pressing for them. Whether dental services from a dentist fall into the category of expensive treatment is a controversial issue. The Ministry of Health in its list included some types of dental treatment and implantation of prostheses in this category, but the Federal Tax Service believes that such services cannot be considered expensive and did not include them in its comprehensive list of services. In practice, even if the medical certificate indicates code 2, the Federal Tax Service often refuses to pay a deduction from the full cost of expenses.
Example
Citizen P. P. Sobolev, being a non-working pensioner, had prosthetic teeth and spent 180,000 rubles on dental treatment. At the clinic where he received services, the certificate was given code 2. Since an unemployed pensioner himself cannot claim a deduction, his son handled the registration. He submitted an application to the tax service for a refund of 23,400 rubles. But the inspectorate refused and approved the amount of only 15,600 rubles as a social deduction.
Tax refund for sanatorium treatment
When you are in a sanatorium-resort area, you must remember that the costs directly include treatment services and expenses for purchasing medications. Expenses such as travel, accommodation, personal spending on leisure and food are not taken into account.
Important! A trip to a sanatorium purchased from a travel agency that has the appropriate license is regarded as confirmation of payment of expenses.
Example
In 2016, my daughter purchased a ticket to a sanatorium for mineral waters for non-working pensioner R. S. Akaeva, since her mother often complained of stomach problems. The cost was 70,000 rubles for 20 days, payment was made via the Internet. During examinations, the pensioner was diagnosed with an allergic reaction that needed urgent treatment. The doctor prescribed Quifenadine. The cost of two packages was 600 rubles. In 2022, my daughter filed a tax deduction and returned the amount of 3,900 rubles. The fact is that accommodation, food and travel are not included in expenses. Before leaving, the pensioner took a certificate from a medical institution, which indicated the amount of medical procedures worth 30,000 rubles, and also saved the doctor’s prescription and received a copy of the license. However, she lost the receipt for the purchase of medicine. A certificate, license and voucher were presented to the tax authority, on the basis of which the amount of the deduction amounted to 3,900 rubles.
Tax refund for the purchase of medicines
A non-working pensioner, if he has the right to a tax refund or through his children, can return part of the money spent on the purchase of medicines. The main condition is that the drug belongs to the established list, a prescription from a doctor and receipts confirming payment.
Example
Lonely citizen G. A. Baryshev spends 3,700 rubles on medicines every month. Of this, 3,200 rubles are spent on medications included in the Federal Tax Service register. A significant amount is spent per year - 44,400 rubles. A pensioner lives in his own apartment, receives a pension and officially rents out a room in a hostel for 7,000 rubles a month. The annual tax amount is 10,920 rubles. He has the right to return the deduction in accordance with the procedure established by law. To calculate the tax due to Baryshev, we take the amount of 38,400 rubles. (3200*12 months). Deduction – 4992 rubles. Since the personal income tax amount is larger, he can return the deduction amount annually, compensating for part of his costs.
