Hi - I have a 36-year-old disabled son who has autism. He also suffered from generalized anxiety disorder. He moved into his own apartment in Sept 2021. His only income is SSA @ $19,120 per year in 2022. He does not work. He pays me $1200/month or $14,400 per year for rent out of his SSA check.
I pay for approximately 85% of his living expenses including rent, electricity, cable, food, clothing and any other necessary costs. My out-of-pocket costs for living expenses alone totals $16,400 per year for 2022. I also pay approximately, $5000/year in mental health therapy sessions costs not covered by insurance. I have three questions:
1.) Can I continue to claim him as a disabled dependent for 2022, under "other qualifying dependent"?
2.) Can I claim any of the living expenses as deductions?
3.) Can I claim any of his medical/mental health expenses?
Thanks in advance.
