if i paid for my dads private nurses and aides- it was out of a account with both my dad and my name on the account- should this be included on his tax papers? or mine?
CORRECTION! I left out the word "not" above. So to be clear.. All VA non-service connected pensions (Basic, Homebound, and Aid and Attendance) are NOT deemed as income for federal and state income tax purposes.
We have two conflicting opnions about Aid and Attendance benfits for VA recipients. Have you received, or has the recipient received a 1099 on this benefit?
krnhersh: Expenses were paid for services received by your father. If you are seeking to deduct these expenses for income tax purposes they should be deducted on his return as a medical expense.
I am about to care for my elderly father in my home & quit my job. He receives social security benefits which will support us. do I have to pay taxes on that money?
I am about to move my Dad from a nursing home & care for him in my home. His social security will be our only source of income. Will I have to pay taxes on that money?
LMerchant: Your Dad should file his annual Income Tax Return, just as he always does, this time using your address as his address. On the Return, there is a line for Social Security Income. Enter it and carry over the txable amount in the extreme right hand column. Computer software will tell you how much to carry over. If you don't use the software for tax filing, then you will have to compute it using the book or get some help on this. Remember this is not your money. Again, not your money. Even though you spend it on him...his needs, meds, haircuts, food, snacks, recreation etc. it is still his money. On a different Schedule, you will find Care for The Elderly........dependent care/. This is where you will get back some of your money spend on his care....including Housing, utilities, insurance and more.
I'm going to have to ( reluctantly) disagree with Ralph on the Medical Deduction for your Dad's needs. L Merchant: Only medical and medically-related expenses can be entered on Line 1 of Schedule A.... this includes, dental expenses, insurance premiums, gasoline to and from these med/dent offices and all med-related expenses..medical driving. precriptions, non-prescriptions, etc. Nothing else. No haircuts, no manicures, no rides to the park etc. No food. sorry.
Your caregiver is a worker. She has her own income and Income Tax Return. Your Aid and Attendance payments are yours, and you should pay her out of any and all income that you have, including your Aid and Attendance, whatever that may be. If she receives Disability payments, there is a guideline as to how much money she can earn in a month/year. She should call Social Security to find out how much she is allowed to earn while receiving Disability.
A&A are exempt from SS as an countable income for midi-cal benefits and is not a countable income and can be dismissed if broken down by the VA by a letter re-guest.if SS needs one on record as most due.
