Deductions & credits

No, you cannot take expenses on your father's return that were paid for your medical bills.  Unfortunately you are not and were not his dependent at the time of the medical expense.

 

If the gift to you was greater than $15,000 in the calendar tax year, then he may be required to file a gift tax return.  If the amount was lower than that, no gift tax return is required (for federal purposes).
