If unpaid medical bills are paid in my bankruptcy, can I deduct those paid bills (which will be paid through my bankruptcy) as medical expenses on my 2011 tax returns?

I'm pretty sure you can deduct on your 2011 return whatever payments the trustee actually makes to the medical provider in 2011 to the same extent as if you paid them directly. You are making the payments, it is just through an intermediary. So, you should still be able to deduct them. Sort of like property taxes paid through an impound account.LadyInTheRed is in the black!
