Claiming my mother on tax return

By Terry Savage on March 19, 2015 | Wild Card

I pay over 1/2 of my mom’s living expenses for her home care. How do I claim this on my return. As a medical expense or as a dependent?

Terry Says:  Consult your tax preparer, but if you can document that you provide more than half of her living expenses, you can declare her as a dependent.
