Thank you. I understand which of her assisted living costs would be deductible before she passed away.
This is different because it is an expense for days after she passed away. They are not considered qualified days for her long term care insurance reimbursement.
So, it seems the guidelines you listed don't really apply in this case.
I'm curious to know if any others have had this situation and whether they reported it as a medical expense on the final personal return or an estate expense on the estate income tax return.
