The questions are for 2019 income tax return related to elderly long-term care.
My father was paralyzed. He didn't have any income or asset, and was ineligible for any benefit, such as SS, Medicare, or Medicaid. I paid out of my pocket for everything that he needed, including medical and long-term care, for the entire year 2019.
He is my dependent in my 2019 income tax return.
There is a question in TurboTax, "Did you pay for child or dependent care in 2019?" I answered "Yes", as I paid for my father (my dependent) to stay at a group home for part of the year.
Then another question, "Pick a dependent and a provider, and tell us how much you paid". I picked my father's name and the provider, and entered $10,000+ that I paid.
As a result, I've got $600 Child and Dependent Care Credit.
Questions:
1) May I also enter this expense (in the amount of $10,000+) in the "Medical Expenses" section?
2) It asks if the group home (where my father stayed) is an organization or a person.
The homeowner registered her house as a facility where she hires several caregivers to care for 5 elderly residents. Is this considered an organization or a person?
3) It asks if the group home is a tax-exempt organization.
I assume that the group home pays taxes. But I don't know for sure. What is the implication of this question?
