Parent Memory Managment Unit Expenses

1 reply
37 views

I pay all the expenses for my mother's memory management unit living at a senior center. The expenses are broken into living, food, and care (medication administration, hygiene, dressing, etc.) Do I report the care portion as a medical expense or is there another section.

Thanks

The care would be a medical expense. You could only deduct it on your tax return if your parent qualified as your dependent though.
