How do you file taxes as a family caregiver?

Dear Odana,

I would consult with an accountant or even going to HR Block to get more information.

I have, but the tax preparer and the last H&R Block specialist were not very knowledgeable about how to issue me record of payment from mom.

Odana, time to make an appointment with a CPA [Certified Public Accountant].

My parents had a CPA for many years and thank goodness because being elderly and having caregivers, then cost of long-term-care and Assisted Living, what is deductible and what is not was way too complex for me to follow.
