I have written about tax write off's before for kids on the spectrum, but I was wondering, what about other write off's for the disabled, not necessarily spectrum kids? What if you have a bad back, and you are say a person who lifts things for a living, like a construction, or factory worker, or child care person? You know, constantly lifting objects, kids, its part of your job right? And what if, in order to do your job, you had to see a chiropractor every week? Can you right that off? Apparently you can write that, as well as other things off. You must meet the disability, whether it is mental, or physical, or both. You can take a business expense directly, rather than be subjected to the 7.5% limit, as medical expenses are. This applies whether or not you are an employee, or self-employed. What about ramps for wheelchairs? Special glasses? Etc.?
Read this article from foxbusiness, and to find out which IRS publication will detail these deductions further.
