Where can I find the section to claim mileage for taking parent to doctor appointments

[Marketstar · Accepted solution]

You can only claim mileage for taking a parent to doctor appointments if you provided over one half of the parent's total support in 2016.

If so you can deduct the mileage if you itemize and the total expenses for you, your spouse, and your dependents exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income (7.5% if you're 65 or older as of December 31, 2016). The deduction is limited to the expenses above and beyond this amount.

To deduct medical expenses::

• Type in medical expenses, sch a the search box, top right of your screen, then click the magnifying glass

• Click the jump to medical expenses, sch a link in the search results

• Follow to prompts and online instructions
