Are in-home nursing services after knee replacement included as medical expenses for schedule A deduction?

Ahhh who paid the payroll taxes? Was there a written agreement? Did mom issue the payee a 1099? Was this an RN? It could get pretty dicey with the IRS if payments were "under the table"

This is tax question, correct? I believe that if the amount paid reaches the threshold of deductibility, and we're ordered by a doctor, they are deductible. What do the instructions for schedule A say?

According to medicare.gov..private duty nursing services are not covered. Refer to the web site for specific questions. They have a number available.

Wishing you well.
