This was my question as well but it is not so simple. LTC benefits are reported from form 1099-LTC in the miscellaneous income section. TT then asks what the total reimbursed expenses were and calculates what amount is taxable.
Later you come to the deduction and credit section and it asks you what medical costs you had. There are categories for Long Term Care and for Medical Facilities. Is an assisted living unit LTC or a medical facility? Can I deduct everything not reimbursed for my Dad with dementia? There is very little guidance here and the unreimbursed amount is close to my Dad's gross income! This makes a huge difference but I can't find any answers that take all of the pieces into consideration.
