Medical devices such as a chair lift would be included on your Federal return as a medical expense. When you go through the medical expense section, there are several categories of expenses. You could include the cost of the chair lift in the medical equipment category, or at the end of the section where it asks for all other medical expenses. The section at the end allows you to enter your own description and amount.
Then, all of the medical expenses are added together, compared to your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), and included as part of itemized deductions if the total medical expense exceeds 7.5% of your AGI. If you are using the standard deduction, then there will be no tax benefit to claiming the cost of the chair lift.
Go to Deductions and Credits > Medical > Medical Expenses to get started.
