Yes, but if it is a huge expense and deduction, frequently the IRS questions it. It's a valid expense but I have a client whose mother in law suffered a serious stroke and had home health aides around the clock to great expense, the IRS questioned. He was approved ultimately, and didn't have to submit every bill but it was a mini audit. so do be aware claiming large medical expenses does raise a red flag, so clients need to be prepared to justify those expense claims.
