I have large medical bills this year that weren’t covered by insurance so I plan to itemize. Is there a form I have to file?

The total amount of itemized medical expenses that are deductible are entered on Schedule A of Form 1040. There is no separate form used to list the specific medical expenses. You do not have to attach any statement listing these expenses. Retain receipts for these expenses with your tax records.

Installment sale

A sale of property that allows for tax deferment if at least one payment is received after the end of the tax year in which the sale occurs. The installment method does not apply to year-end sales of publicly traded securities. Dealers may not use the installment method. Investors with very large installment balances could face a special tax.
