Yes, the amount that is paid for home care is considered a medical expense. 

 

If you have enough deductions for Mortgage Interest, Property Taxes, State Income Tax Paid, Medical Expense that are over 7.5% of your income and Charitable Contributions, to exceed the Standard Deduction then you will receive a deduction.

 

The Standard Deduction for 2019, depending on your filing status is:

 

Single $12,200

Head of Household $18,350

Married Filing Joint $24,400

Married Filing Separate $12,200
