Thank you for your valuable help. I have a question, I paid for my brothers hospital fees can I claim this as my medical expense. The costs were quite high.
Is your brother financially dependent on you?
He has a menial job and I do take care of his day to day needs. He resides with me and I take care of all the financial responsibilities including day to day needs.So yes I am the primary breadwinner who takes care of all the necessities at home.
Yes then you can claim his expenses as he is financially dependent on you.
