ANSWER

Calculation of qualifying medical expenses
Particulars				amount
Doctor and hospital bills				6700
elevator chair system (19500-16000)				3500
installation charges				1500
medicine				1350
medical expenses				13050
deductible medical exp = medical expenses-7.5% of AGI
Deductible medical exp = 13050-7.5%*(83000) = 6825
