My son passed in december, the insurance company paid for the medical bills, but that was money I was suppose to receive. Can I claim those bills on this years taxes, since in one way I did pay for it?
Per tax rules your medical deduction is for what you paid - out of your pocket- for the medical premiums AND any medical bills you had to pay -and did pay- that were not covered and were paid out of your pocket. So what the insurance paid is NOT yours to deduct. Sorry and sorry for your loss.
