I am full time 24/7 caregiver to my Mother who is chronically ill. cfrom a licensed health care practitioner that the care recipient is a chronically ill individual, chronically ill" A person is chronically ill if he or she needs supervision as a result of severe cognitive impairment or needs help to perform at least two activities of daily living, such as eating and dressing. How can my mother use this as a Medical Tax deduction ? How can I prove to Medi-cal this should go towards her High share of Cost? My Mother care involves me; checking b/p, sugar, breathing, pulse, fever and injecting medication. Bathing, daily living are eating, toileting, dressing, and conti-nence.
2.He or she requires substantial supervision to be pro-tected from threats: to health and safety due to severe cognitive impairment : self-neglect, make Serious medication errors, she is not not aware of their cognitive impairment , Falls., she choke on food as to be cut very small, wanders.
What do I need for Medi-cal proof to go toward her High Share of Cost? I already file my 1099. I just don't know how to prove to Medi-cal/Ihss of payment she give me for this care.
The medi-cal office dpss, told me my care giving is not a medical deduction and can't be used toward her share of cost. She is not on IHSS (we are applying now)
. I don't think that is correct but I'm not 100 % sure? I file a 1099 ever year for what she is paying me. I understand all your points, but getting it there is what I'm having a hard time doing, what forms? what tax forms, what IHSS forms. I'am really confused and upset. It so difficult doing all by myself 24/7, I'm ill also and now that COVID19 is hear go to run an errand takes longer, I mean just pick up the essentials milk, eggs, bread you have to wait in a long line. I have to talk my mother in the car for and she waits in the car with a mask, sorry I'm going on on I'm overwhelmed
