Deductions & credits

It depends. The IRS will allow the cost of airfare for a parent accompanying a child for medical treatment. They will also allow the cost of airfare for a nurse or other person who can give injections, medications, or other treatment required by the patient who is traveling to get medical care. However, the patient must not be able to travel alone. Please view the transportation expenses section under What Medical Expenses Are Includible? in this IRS link for more information.
