This year we have had several expenses caring for our sons. One has PTSD and not able to work. Even though his doctors have all submitted documentation, he has been denied SSI disability since January. We have helped with his expenses to keep his home and family. He is 43 and has his own home and children and we have paid his bills and sent food and living expenses.
Our other son had a 5 week hospital stay and I stayed at his home for 5 weeks after his discharge. Can any of my travel expenses (air fare, hotel for 2 weeks, etc.) be deducted? He is single (40 yrs) and needed care at home after his marathon surgeries - one was 10 hours, the second was 6 hours. While in the hospital his wallet was stolen so I paid for his medication until he could get his Flex Card reissued.
We are both retired and living on SS, pensions and IRA distributions. Anything at all would help and I would be able to get documentation to support any of my claim as I save all receipts. Both sons have indicated that their doctors would furnish me with whatever documentation I may need.
Thank you
M Deluga
