Where do I enter expenses for adding a bathroom into our home to accommodate our son who became wheelchair bound in December 2015?

The expenses are for the physical materials to turn a portion of our laundry room into a bathroom.

According to the IRS:

"You can include in medical expenses amounts you pay for special equipment installed in a home, or for improvements, if their main purpose is medical care for you, your spouse, or your dependent. The cost of permanent improvements that increase the value of your property may be partly included as a medical expense. The cost of the improvement is reduced by the increase in the value of your property. The difference is a medical expense. If the value of your property isn't increased by the improvement, the entire cost is included as a medical expense.

Certain improvements made to accommodate a home to your disabled condition, or that of your spouse or your dependents who live with you, don't usually increase the value of the home and the cost can be included in full as medical expenses."

Please go to Federal Taxes>Deductions & Credits>Medical to enter these costs.
