Are amounts paid to Visiting Angels for home healthcare deductible?

[JotikaT2]

Yes, as long as the amounts are paid for medical expenses, such as for changing dressings or personal items like bathing, they can be deducted as nursing services under medical expenses.  Please see the excerpt below to help you determine if your costs are considered deductible based upon the services being rendered in your home.

Also, your medical expenses are only deductible if they exceed 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income.  If they do not, you will not receive a deduction for the medical expenses. Please see the additional link for more information as well in regards to what is a deductible medical expense.
