I converted a tub to a handicap accessible walk-in shower for my mother, who lives with me.
I converted a tub to a handicap-accessible walk-in shower for my mother, who lives with me. Can I claim this and where would I?
Yes, this could be claimed as a Medical Expense which is entered under
Deductions & Credits
Medical
Medical Expenses
You are limited to only claiming the difference in the cost versus the increase in value. In other words, if the shower cost 5,000 but increased the value of your home by 2,000, you could only claim 3,000 as a medical expense.
Medical expenses only count if you Itemize Deductions rather than using the Standard Deduction.
Additionally, medical expenses need to reach a certain threshold before they are added.
Enter the cost (less increase in value) in the program and TurboTax will let you know if it is worth claiming as an Itemized Deduction.
