SAVE ON TAXES NOW - VIII
IF YOU SUPPORT PARENTS
From coast to coast, hundreds of thousands of you are
contributing to the support of your parents who are 65 or
over - and it's more than likely that most of you are wasting
the tax-savings value of your contributions, particularly if
your over-65 parents have medical expenses. 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.
