Re: Are payments for ABA tax deductible?

[Guest guest]

We have written ours off for the last two years... our ABA provider

works under a licensed psych..not sure if that would make a

difference if your consultant is or not. Additionally we wrote off

tutors, and materials as well. The tutors were written off both via

1099 and via some type of medical/educational expense. Materials

were medical. We also wrote off her diet GFCFSF as well. And all

mileage to and from all appt's (pt, ot, st, preschool) Adds up

after while...I think we had about 11,000 miles last year.
