| Medical Expense, trip to visit a parent in the Hospital Can the travel expense be deducted to visit an ill parent in the hospital ? We live in Colorado and my mother-in-law is in Tucson Arizona. My wife made the trip twice via airlines and we drove once. It can be documented that my mother-in-law was guest at the facility. << ================================================== ===== > << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, > << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties > << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. > << > << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts > << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy > << are at www.asktax.org. > << Copyright (2006) - All rights reserved. > << ================================================== ===== > |
