If you're eligible to take the tax break, you can choose to claim elder care either as a medical expense or as dependent care. If your mother is your dependent, you are eligible to deduct elder care as either medical expenses or dependent care, subject to IRS rules on the nature of the care.
Itâs unfortunate that many seniors fail to claim all the tax deductions they can from year to year. Especially if you do your own taxes, itâs important to be aware that the vast majority of medical expensesâincluding Medicare premiumsâare tax-deductible. This includes medical expenses your spouse and dependents incur. That covers a lot of groundâfrom checkups and preventive care to treatments and long-term care.
