Deductions & credits

No, you most likely cannot deduct the medical expenses that you paid for your adult son who does not live with you.  

 

You can only deduct medical expenses paid for yourself, your spouse, or your dependents.  If your son qualified as your dependent either when the medical expense was incurred or when you paid the medical expense, then you could deduct it as part of your return.
