A whole-home generator can be deducted as a medical expense on Schedule A Itemized deductions.
The IRS allows all taxpayers to deduct their qualified unreimbursed medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of their adjusted gross income. You must itemize your deductions on IRS Schedule A in order to deduct your medical expenses.
You need to have clear proof that your physical or mental condition demands a stand-by whole-home generator. A letter from your medical care provider stating the reason for needing a whole-home generator for power outages should be submitted with your tax return.

- Sign in to your TurboTax account.
