Can you deduct assisted living expenses for both spouses if only one needed the care? - assisted living ri
I have a client that change on his return, he and his wife wants to be in a hotbed of assisted living and the woman is certainly not for medical reasons. The problem is that the husband is the sole cause of women.
The customer wants to know if you can, the cost gets dressed, in addition to his wife.
Please enter the code section of the IRS or the source of your answer.
The lagoon, which applies only to the filing of the opinion - a companion can bring the cost of the accommodation allowance.
2) Can change their statements and a refund of more than 3 years already submitted their statements, even if the normal limitation period is generally the rule is not entitled to a refund of more than 3 years?

I do not agree with your argument on the withdrawal of the guide ($ 50 per day discount for the event of an accompanying person must be with the patient for treatment outside the home and departure) for the spouse. No part of the IRS code that supports their position.
In fact, they could live in the facility, without a spouse, it happens all the time. While the man in the middle only because his wife is there, and he chose to be there, should not accompany her husband to the woman in the assisted living facility. His presentation would not be deductible.
Only part of the quota for women is the medical treatment of diseases can be deducted as medical expenses. If the rates can not be between husband and wife separated, I think the IRS 50% of medical expenses for women to accept. If it charges for breastfeeding women, of course, add that the normal fees. The food of the bride are also deductible, but not the husband.
N extensioNo date for a change in this case.

Since the IRS :....( substitute "supportive housing" for "nursing home")
>>>> Cost of care are considered eligible medical expenses in certain cases. If you, your spouse or your dependent is in a nursing home, and the main reason for health care, the total cost, including meals and lodging, is a medical expense. If the individual is at home, mainly for financial reasons is simply the cost of medical care today is medical costs and costs for meals and lodging is not deductible. \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ U0026lt \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ u0026lt \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ u0026lt \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ u0026lt;
I would say "no" at their expense, because their main reason for any doctor, but personal.
Anyway, you can not exceed 3 years.

Another way to see: Although they are a married couple filing jointly are still people and the previous test must be individually applied to them. Assumption is that they are individuals.
Su) The main reason: Medical - All expenses deductible
He) R PrimaryEason: Staff - Meals and lodging are not deductible.
In my opinion, the fact is that it is not for medical reasons and would other housing options, and do not make deductible expenses.
No. Accommodation for accompanying a person traveling for medical care does not cover assisted living.
