tax credit

[labranche1976]

We have a handicapped grandson who lives with us. We cannot claim him as a dependent. We remodeled our home to accommodate his wheelchair at a cost of over $30k. Can we claim this as a deduction?

You can claim the deduction as a medical expense if the remodel expenses were medically necessary and you furnish over one half of the support for your grandchild.

If you cannot claim your grandson as a dependent, then you cannot deduct these medical expenses.
