Greetings,
I am sharing with my wife's brother, support of my wife's mother in a memory care facility. We are contributing more than 50% of her cost for lodging and care at a memory facility, and as well as paying for her prescriptions, with social security and veteran's spousal support covering the balance.
Can one of us deduct either their share or the total of our combined contribution to her care on our taxes (with the other supplying a letter that they will not claim support)?
Thanks.
John
