Income Tax Deduction?
The term "tax deduction" is often heard around the tax-filing season, but it's frequently misunderstood or confused with a tax credit. A tax deduction is a set amount you're allowed to subtract from your income. Unlike a credit, a tax deduction doesn't directly reduce the tax you owe and isn't refundable. However, a tax deduction typically results in a lower amount of taxes due, as the deduction amount subtracted from your earnings lowers the amount of income you're taxed on. The Internal Revenue Service has tax deductions available for various expenses and situations. Common deductions include the interest you paid on a home mortgage loan, property taxes you paid on real estate you own, the value of charitable donations you made and your out-of-pocket dental and medical costs. The size of the deduction depends on the deduction type and the method the IRS uses to calculate the amount, and some deductions have special rules. For example, when calculating the deduction for medical or dental expenses, you only are allowed to deduct expenses that exceed 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income. Before you take any tax deductions, read the instructions for the deduction from the IRS carefully. You'll need to fill out the necessary forms, give the IRS documentation (if required) and submit the forms and documents with the return you're taking the deductions on. Taking any deductions you're not entitled to can result in tax penalties, and you'll owe interest on any taxes you didn't pay at the time because of the erroneous deduction. Keep all paperwork you used to calculate your deduction--such as proof of payment of medical expenses--so you'll have proof of your right to take the deduction should the IRS audit your return. If you're not sure whether you qualify for a particular tax deduction, contact a tax professional or the IRS taxpayer assistance line before trying to file using the deduction to avoid making a costly mistake.

Added 2200 to your medical expense deduction and refund did not increase?
The 2200 amount that was added as a medical expense deduction on the schedule A itemized deduction of the 1040 federal income tax return did NOT INCREASE your itemized deductions amount enough to reduce your taxable income amount on page 2 line 43 of the 2009 1040 income tax return. So it did not reduce your income tax liability amount that is on page 2 line 44 and that would be the reason that you did not have any INCREASE in your refund amount.
