taxguy057 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Same client in my last post about education credit father died last year. My client is from India and that is where his father unfortunately was killed in a car accident. My client had to fly to India twice to make arrangements for burial. He paid for those expenses as well as some medical expenses the father had as a result of the accident. Can the son get any relief taxwise due to this large out of pocket expense of traveling abroad to handle his father's affairs?? Again thx for any input...

jasdlm Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Can't think of a thing unless you are doing Father's 1041 or Father qualified as Son's dependent. Were you thinking of anything specific? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcjenkins Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 It's hard to think of a more personal reason for a trip than that one. No deduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
