She has problems walking and getting in the bath tub without a lot of help. I invested in a new Safe Step walk in tub and had it installed in the master bath room. It was quite expensive and I'd like to know if that qualifies as a medical deduction?</P> Sun, 04 Apr 2021 17:12:43 GMT apreisser 2021-04-04T17:12:43Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/medical/01/2169121#M202906 <P>My wife (72 y/o) has limitations due to dementia and other health issues.

Therefore, the materials and the installation costs are&nbsp;tax deductible&nbsp;as a Medical and Dental Expense.</P> Sun, 04 Apr 2021 17:22:10 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/re-medical/01/2169157#M202911 ColeenD3 2021-04-04T17:22:10Z
