Deductions & credits
Yes, if the main purpose of the generator is for medical use.
If the generator is used for other purposes, or adds value to your home, the deduction may be limited.
If you use it for other purposes, only deduct the percentage of use for the medical devices.
If it adds value to the property, subtract the increase of value from the cost of the generator.
According to the IRS:
"You can include in medical expenses amounts you pay for special equipment installed in a home, or for improvements, if their main purpose is medical care for you, your spouse, or your dependent. The cost of permanent improvements that increase the value of your property may be partly included as a medical expense. The cost of the improvement is reduced by the increase in the value of your property. The difference is a medical expense. If the value of your property isn't increased by the improvement, the entire cost is included as a medical expense."
