Husband in memory care

[Lauraw1]

My husband is in Memory Care and is diagnosed with Advanced Dementia. He needs 24 hour care for safety. Can the entire bill be deducted on taxes.

Yes, provided your costs of memory care exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income, you can deduct any memory care expense as an eligible medical expense that's over the 7.5% AGI threshold. This is assuming that you have enough itemized deductions that exceed your applicable standard deduction based on your filing status.
