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.
Tax deductions for both caregivers and assisted living can be made under the right circumstances and with the proper documentation. Itâs common knowledge that you can deduct the cost of medical expenses if they exceed 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income. But, many times both families and tax professionals may be missing the deduction for long-term care, non-medical costs for a âchronicâ condition (as defined by the IRS).
