If my husband had medical liens against our house for $56,000, he has passed away and I refinanced the house this year which paid the medical liens off, can I deduct the payment of the $56,000 on my 2020 tax return?
There are two complications here.
First, did you pay the medical provider (in order to remove the liens)? If not, who held the liens and when was the provider actually paid and by whom?
Second, when did your spouse pass away and when did you pay off the liens?
