Yes, you can deduct the medical expenses.
IRS says that you can include medical
expenses you paid for an individual that would have been your dependent except
that:
- He or she
received gross income of $4,050 or more in 2016,
- He or she filed a
joint return for 2016, or
- You, or your
spouse if filing jointly, could be claimed as a dependent on someone else's
2016 return.
