austin3515 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Participant is redoing her home basement so her monther can move in. One of the largest expenses is retrofitting the bathroom to make it handicap accessible. Is there any way to call this a medical expense not covered by insurance? Or would these types of renovations and/or medical equipment be ineligible altogether? LOVE the new web-site! Austin Powers, CPA, QPA, ERPA

masteff Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Is there a medical purpose to the mother moving in (eg, in-home treatment)?
