Here, therefore, is an important year-end medical expense guideline for you. You can deduct every dollar of medical expenses you pay for a parent who is 65 or over from your income tax as long as you contribute more than half of your parent's support during the year. You need not waste a penny of the medical expenses you pay for them because of the general rule that medical expenses are deductible only in excess of 3 per cent of your adjusted gross income. This holds even if your parent doesn't qualify as a dependent because he or she has made $600 or more of gross income during the year. So, instead of giving your parent cash and letting him pay his medical expenses, why not pay his medical bills directly so you can deduct on your return this contribution to him and save taxes? Just to illustrate, say your 65-year-old father has had $700 of dividend and interest income this year and he needs S1.000 for dental work in coming weeks for which you expect to give him the money. If you give him the cash, you will get no deduction at all. and he will have a medical expense deduction that won't save any taxes for him either. But if, instead, you pay the $1,000 directly to the dentist for your father's dental work, you still will be contributing more than half your father's total support of $1,700 for the year and you'll be entitled to deduct the total $1,000 as a medical expense on your own return. If you own adjusted gross income this year is $10,000, you normally would have to waste up to 3 per cent of that, or $300 of your own medical expenses, before you could deduct a single penny. But you don't waste a cent of what you pay for your father, because the 3 per cent rule doesn't apply to medical expenses paid for him. However, the rule on drugs and medicines that the cost of them can be included in medical expenses only above 1 per cent of ad justed gross income does apply to him. So any drugs or medicines you buy for him are a deduction on your return only to the extent that the costs lop 1 per cent of your ad justed gross income. If you are claiming a dependency deduction for your par ents who are receiving social security, check this rule so you don't get fouled up on your deductions for 1062. You must contribute more than half the total support during the year for each parent you claim as a dependent. While the social security payments your parents receive are not taxable income to them, they do count as part of the total support. In countless thousands of instances, these social security payments are based entirely on your father's past work. And your mother isn't old enough to raise your father's payment. The Treasury says that in this case the social security is support for your father, unless it can be shown the money was not spent for his support. For instance, suppose your father and mother have no income other than $720 a year from social security entirely attributable to him. You also contribute $850 to their sup port; so their total support is $1,570, of which half - $785 -is considered to be spent for each. The Treasury says your father's social security covered $720 of his $785, so you contributed only $65 to him or less than half of his $785 ai d you therefore can take only your mother as a de pendent. This year the Tax Court ruled the Treasury is wrong. It said that if the $1,570 is to be divided equally between your parents, or $785 for each, then your $850 contribution also should be divided equally between them, or $425 for each, and therefore, since you have given more than half of the $785 support for each, you can claim both dependents. You now have your precedent for claiming both your par ents as dependents and achieving significant tax savings, although you'll probably have to fight the Treasury on this. Next!
