A: The first step is to add up your father's total expenditure for medical care. Then, subtract reimbursements from the long-term-care policy, other medical insurance, Medicare and any other source.
Whether the net medical expense is deductible depends on your father's adjusted gross income. Medical expenses must total more than 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income before you can take a deduction.
Reimbursements aren't taxable unless they exceed expenses. .
• Financial Planning: Wills and Other Ways
Feb. 12, 2007 - When you think about leaving money to heirs, the process seems simple. You put your decisions in your will (you have one, right?). When the will is read, your family and friends bless your sainted memory. If you yourself are an heir, you expect to collect your promised share. Think again. That picture is from the movies (old movies). Nowadays your will may affect only a fraction of what you own. Most of your serious property will probably pass outside your will, through joint ownership, living trusts or the beneficiary forms attached to life insurance and retirement accounts. If the forms aren't in sync (and they're often not), the wrong person might inherit or an adult child (maybe you) might get less than the parents intended. Risks multiply with divorce and remarriage.
19 German shepherds get second chance
“Atrocious" and “sickening" come nowhere close to describing the deplorable conditions that 20 German shepherds were found living in at a Port Orchard home. After reports of suspected mistreatment were reported to Kitsap Animal Control, the department's officers obtained a court-ordered warrant last month and discovered 20 emaciated German shepherds living in some of the most fifthly conditions they've seen in recent years. “They were all fifthly, covered in feces, urine and water," said Rance McEntyre, supervisor of Kitsap Animal Control. Kitsap Animal Control officers managed to rescue 19 of the 20 dogs. They tried for days to capture the last one, but were unable to do so within the allowed time limits of the warrant. The dogs were initially taken to the Kitsap Humane Society in Silverdale.
