it doesn't do calculations of medical expenses vs personal. Rather, you generally get a letter or other notification as to the amount of payments for the year that constitute deductible medical expenses. Once the amount is know it is handled just like any other medical expense.

Residents of Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) may be eligible for tax deductions on prepaid medical expenses. This typically includes a portion of the entrance fee and monthly fees that can be classified as prepaid medical expenses under IRS guidelines.

Eligibility for Deductions

Only residents of CCRCs that offer a continuum of care can qualify for these deductions. If the community does not provide guaranteed health care services, the fees may not be deductible
.
A nonrefundable portion of the entrance fee is often considered a prepaid medical expense, while refundable portions may only qualify for deductions if they are nonrefundable

Yes, the TurboTax Deluxe Desktop 2025 can handle CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community) prepaid medical deductions. These will be entered under the "Medical Expenses" section of Deductions & Credits in your TurboTax program. Keep in mind that you must itemize deductions on Schedule A, and these expenses are only deductible to the extent they exceed 7.5% of your 2025 Adjusted Gross Income.

In general. as Mike9241 mentions above a percentage of your CRC payments are deductible as medical expenses for both the entrance fee and monthly fees, provided they are non-refundable and used for pre-paid medical expenses. The CCRCs usually will give a statement regarding the amount of the specific deductible percentage.

Often the CCRC calculates the percentage of your fees that will qualify as medical expenses and provides this to the residents. This is usually done using a Form 1099-MISC, which will show the amount (%) that is deductible.
