Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to IRS rules, a taxpayer can claim medical expenses for a non-dependent child if the taxpayer provides over half of the child's support for the year. James' earning of $7,500 does not disqualify Chad from claiming his medical expenses, as Chad is still providing more than half of James' support.
