TAX Deduction Information
Can I deduct the tuition and other expenses I pay for my child to attend one of these schools?
In many cases, parents can deduct the tuition and other expenses that are paid for their child to attend Horizon Academy.
We must explain up front that we are not tax advisors.
Our intent is to provide you with information that you can give to your tax advisor so that they can help you make an appropriate deduction.
Under the Internal Revenue Code: Section 213(a) - you are allowed a deduction for your unreimbursed medical care expenses, as well as the unreimbursed medical care expenses of your spouse and dependents. The deduction is limited, however, to only those expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. So if you had an adjusted gross income of $100,000 and you had $20,000 in unreimbursed medical expenses, you would be able to deduct $12,500. ($20,000 - $7,500)
In order for your tuition and other expenses to qualify as a deductible medical expense, the following two criteria must by met:
1.) The facility must be a special school that has as its primary purpose to enable students to compensate for or overcome disabilities, to prepare them for normal education or normal living;
and
2.) Your child's condition must be such that the resources at the facility for alleviating mental or physical disabilities are the principal reason for your child’s presence there.
The first item describes one of the main objectives of these schools/programs. Although these schools do e a standard educational curriculum, most students who attend are in need of special therapy and other services that are offered in order to e for or overcome certain disabilities that hold them back and keep them from functioning in a normal educational or living environment. That is why we believe that the standard educational curriculum should not prevent you from qualifying for the medical expense deduction.
The second item is met by the majority of our students. Otherwise, they would still be enrolled in a traditional public or private school. However, each case is unique and the IRS uses a facts and circumstances test to determine if you are eligible for the uction.
If both criteria are met, then the entire tuition and expenses for transportation to and from Horizon Academy can qualify as a medical care expense.
** Please be sure to consult with your tax advisor before claiming a medical care expense deduction.
