If you're eligible to take the tax break, you can choose to claim elder care either as a medical expense or as dependent care. If your mother is your dependent, you are eligible to deduct elder care as either medical expenses or dependent care, subject to IRS rules on the nature of the care.
These medical expenses are not deductible: 1  Certain expenses for children â If your baby is healthy, you canât deduct babysitting fees, even if the babysitting allows you or your spouse to receive medical treatment. 2  Cosmetic surgery and services â Any procedure that is deemed cosmetic is not deductible.
