Long Island CPA Firm Offering Tax and Financial Advice
Medical expenses paid for dependents may be deducted. To claim these expenses, the person must have been a dependent either at the time the medical services were provided or at the time the expenses were paid.If either parent can claim a child as a dependent under the rules for divorced or separated parents, each parent can include the medical expenses he or she pays for the child. This is true even if the other parent claims the exemption for the child.
