Can I count the cost for a drug rehab facility for my adult son as a medical expense?

Hi there,

If you don't claim your son as a dependent, you won't be able to deduct his rehab facilities on your taxes -- even if you paid for it. However, he can deduct these expenses on his own tax return.

Hope this helps!

The reply stated my son could claim the expenses on his tax return. Even if I paid for them?

Yes, the money you paid is considered a gift to him.
