I assist my father financially & wanted to know if I could deduct this from my taxes?
I do not claim him as a dependant, but I send my father 500.00 a month (he lives off of his social security and the money I send him). This is a significant portion of my income, is there any way that I can deduct this from my taxes?
I think he has to live with you. However, I did see something the other day about being able to claim this if you are paying his mortgage. 'Don't know if that is the case, but best of luck!
