I have an adult autistic child who lives in a group home in another state. She receives SSI, can I deduct dental and clothes expenses even if I do not have custody?

If she is not your dependent you cannot deduct clothes expense. You can deduct dental expense if paid to the provider as a medical expense if you itemize and subject to the 10% of AGI limitation.
