According to IRS rules, if Bill provides medical expenses for his daughter who is married and files a joint return, he can still include the expenses in his own medical expense deduction as long as he provides more than half of her support during the year. Therefore, Bill can include the $2,500 of expenses when calculating his medical expense deduction.
