How do we claim expenses from caring for someone with disability?

They are adults that can’t work so I take care off all the bills and groceries.

You cannot claim "expenses."    If the person you are helping qualifies as a dependent on your tax return you can claim them as a dependent.   Otherwise, gifts to individuals are not deductible.

IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed:

You can not deduct the expenses you pay for someone with a disability if they are not your dependant.

The guidelines for claiming an adult as a dependent  include:

• You and the adult must be a qualifying relationship.
• You must pay for at least 50% of the adult’s support and expenses.
• The adult must have either been living with you for the entire year or be related to you.
• The adult’s gross income cannot exceed $4,150.
• The adult cannot be claimed as a dependent by anyone else.
