Per IRS Publication 502,
Amounts you pay for operation and upkeep of a capital asset qualify as medical expenses as long as the main reason for them is medical care. This rule applies even if none or only part of the original cost of the capital asset qualified as a medical care expense.
Therefore, the maintenance and supplies are deductible as qualified medical expenses. Assuming the charges for electricity are for the entire home and not separately billed for the pool, you will have to determine the allocation of expenses related to the pool versus the remainder of the property.
To enter these expenses, follow these steps:
- From the Federal menu, click on Deductions & Credits
- Expand the menu for Medical
- Click Start/Revisit next to Medical Expenses
- Enter the information on the screens that follow
