Examining the Medical Expense Deduction for Families with Special Needs Children.
- Authors
Brinker, Jr., Thomas M.
- Abstract
This article gives a brief overview of some of the more unusual aspects of the medical expense deduction that may apply to families with special needs children. In order to claim the child's educational expenses, parents must carefully examine the facts regarding medical expense deductions in facilities that are primarily educational and not special schools. Similarly, the deductions for therapeutic activities, special diets, capital expenditures, and medical conference expenses are very case specific. In the end, it is important to understand the substantial tax benefits that are available to those caring for children with special needs.
