Wondering if Assisted Living rent can be claimed on our income tax next year. I am paying all of it out of pocket, no monies from anyone else. I am living off our savings, to pay bills here at home. All bills and food etc. Also can we claim the cost of the adult pants I buy, the Depends. I have been doing our taxes for several years now, no need for a long form. Hate to waste money at H&R, just to have them say 'sorry you can't claim this'. Also don't want to spend $200 on a tax expert to hear the same thing... don't have one, would have to find one.

You can also e-mail the IRS and ask specific questions on deductibility. Use the form here:

If you don't want to hire a tax preparer, the best thing to do is research the deductible items yourself so you can address everything you think might be deductible.
