Guest guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Good question. We took off the expenses for the GFCF diet one year, but the next year we didn't spend enough to make it work and now we are not on that diet. I hope someone else has better information for you and us all.Rose President, The Safety Sleeper inc.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I think you are referring to federal income tax deductions for children or adults with disabilities. Most of the available tax deductions for our child's special needs will be included as medical expenses, i.e therapies, and activities adjunct to therapies (i.e. gymnastic classes or swim classes as an adjunct to physical or occupational therapy). The cost of these activities as well as transportation to and from these activities at 24 cents per mile are deductible. Special education school tuition and books, educational dvds and computer software, and tutoring are also deductible as a medical expense, if related to your child's disability. Babysitters for an older child (or adult who needs supervision) such as a patient care aide are also deductible. The extra expense of special foods like gluten free foods above the cost of regular foods are write-offs. Even the cost of handicap accessible home modifications (for example, a whole house generator to accomodate a child who has breathing difficulties due to asthma) to the extent that the cost exceeds the increase in home value may be deducted as a medical expense. The legal cost of a medical guardianship is also a tax deduction. Feel free to call me at 561 638-6945 if you have any questions. I am a tax preparer as well as a special needs mom, who has a lot of experience in this area, both personally and professionally. > > Hello: > Does anyone know about any tax credits having an autistic child besides health expenses? > If you do, please let me know > Thank You, > Jeannette > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
