You will be able to include some of these expenses on your tax return as an Itemized Deduction on Schedule A.
You can include lodging for a person traveling with the person receiving the medical care. This is subject to a $50 per person limit per night. Unfortunately, meals are not a deductible expense for someone traveling with a medical patient.
Mileage expenses to travel to and from the UT Medical Center are a deductible expense with a standard mileage rate of 16 cents per mile.
You can deduct only the part of your medical expenses that is more than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI).
