Married filing separately. I claim 1 child, husband claims the other, can I deduct ALL medicalexp on his(joint account), or does it have to be divided by who claimed who?
We are filing married filing separately because we owe less money this way. However, we have a lot of medical expenses due to special needs kids. I am claiming my son and my husband is claiming my daughter. Can I just deduct ALL the medical expenses for all of us under my husbands filing since its all paid out of a joint account, or do I have to break up the medical expenses based on who claimed who?
For example, I claim my son, so the medical expenses I can claim is just me and my son, likewise my husband claims the medical expenses for just him and my daughter?
