Can I deduct loss on sale of home due to medical reasons? Wife diagnosed with Progressive SuperNuclear Palsy - similar to Parkinson's but more aggressive.

House does not work - doors aren't wide enough for walker, steps in and out of home and shower.  Must find facilities that meet her physical limitations.  Doctor's at University of Florida are making recommendation. I am care giver at this time but eventually will go to skilled nursing as disease progresses. PSP.org if you want to see details on disease.

No. Losses on the sale of personal property are never deductible for any reason.

Losses on personal property are never deductible.  Sorry.
