I've been claiming my mom as my dependent for the last three years because she was living with my husband and I in our home. Last October she began living in a nursing facility. Do I still claim her now that she's in the facility?
These answers are helpful. I would like to ask; I pay a professional caregiver to come into our home and watch my husband while I do volunteer work. It is infrequently, but provides me a sense of belonging to help others. The company's policy is a minimum 3 hour stay at $22 an hour. There has been times when the cost exceeded $150 for doing church work. Is this expense deductible on a jointly filed income tax? Thank you.
