We paid $300 to $400 a month to my in laws for his medicine? Where do we claim this

You can claim the money paid for medicine for your in-law if you are able to claim your in-law as a dependent on your tax return. 

 

According to the IRS Publication 502, you can include medical expenses you paid for an individual that would have been your dependent except that:

 

1. He or she received gross income of $4,200 or more in 2019;

2. He or she filed a joint return for 2019; or

3. You, or your spouse if filing jointly, could be claimed

 

If eligible to claim the expenses, then enter the cost of the prescriptions in the Medical Expenses section of your return.
