I will be in an electric wheelchair in about six months and will need help to get in and out of bed, dress, shower, use the toilet, and occasionally prepare some food. Will any of the expenses of an aide about two hours a day be deductible? Please cite the tax code section or reg. Thanks.
In-home health care?

Probably. See IRS Publication 502 for required documentation and limitations. Also be aware of possible employment taxes. See Publication
926.
Sorry, but for free you'll have to settle for Pub references.
Fair enough. Thanks.
