_Note from 2026-05-29._ Yes. Health and medical software subscriptions — including Gluten Hero itself — qualify as a medical expense under IRS Publication 502 (or CRA guidelines for Canadian filers). Your subscription fee is an out-of-pocket cost you pay to track, manage, and document your celiac-related expenses, which fits squarely in the medical software category. ## How to log it 1. Tap **Log Medical Expense** from the dashboard or the quick-actions row. 2. If this is your first medical expense, you will see a banner at the top of the form. Tap **Pre-fill for me** and Gluten Hero will set the category, provider name, and subcategory automatically — you just enter the amount and save. 3. If you have already logged other expenses, select **Medical Software / App** from the category dropdown, enter **Gluten Hero** as the provider, and add **Gluten Hero subscription** as the subcategory. ## What amount to enter Enter the amount you actually paid out of pocket for the subscription year you are logging: - **Founding Member:** $79 for the first year (after the $20 deposit is applied) - **Standard:** $99/year at Go Live Log each subscription year separately, dated to the month you were charged. ## What your CPA or tax professional will see The expense appears in your exported report under Medical Software / App alongside your other medical costs. Your CPA or tax professional will apply the correct AGI threshold and determine the deductible portion — Gluten Hero tracks the cost, your CPA or tax professional does the math.
