Are hearing aids for an elderly parent tax deductible?

You can include in medical expenses the cost of a hearing aid and the batteries you buy to operate it. If you itemize your deductions using the Form 1040, Schedule A itemized deductions, you may be able to deduct your UNREIMBURSED medical expenses you paid during the year for medical care. You can only include the UNREIMBURSED medical expenses you paid during the year. Your total medical expenses for the year must be reduced by any reimbursement. You may deduct only the amount by which your total UNREIMBURSED medical care expenses for the year exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You do this calculation on Form 1040 Schedule A in computing the amount deductible. You can find the below information by going to the IRS gov website and using the search box for Publication 502 (2009), Medical and Dental Expenses
