Deductions & credits

@rickj1954 I have asked for some other Champs to weigh in on this issue.   What you describe is kind of a gray area----- not sure how much of the care your mom is receiving would be regarded by the IRS as "nursing" care---which would be a medical expense  and how much might just be household tasks, etc.  

 

And...unless your mom has enough other itemized deductions, and the amount paid reaches the  threshold to be a medical expense, it might all be moot anyway.
