Medical Miles

[Super Mom]

Can a TP deduct miles going to the hospital to see/care for husband on a joint return. I'm thinking not, what do you all think?

[Kram BergGold]

I believe No

My memory says I have read that the answer is no.

No, not for the reason given.

I suppose if she drove him there, you can count that. And the trip back home when he is released. And there is always the per diem for lodging if her presence is required at the hospital location.

My thoughts exactly Burke, thanks!!

Well, shoot, I didn't think about the first trip and the last trip. Sorry.
