Jack from Ohio Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 What a day today!! Client purchased a used van with all handicap accessories already installed. (wheel chair lift, modified controls, etc) Can the pro-rated costs of the accessories be deducted as medical expense in the same manner as installing them in a new vehicle? Quote

I would say yes, I don't see why not. I've been wrong before, so I took a quick look at Pub 502, and it really doesn't address used equipment, does it? http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf Today has been weird for me. It has been surprisingly calm until about an hour ago, then a flurry of people dropping off stuff. They're gettin extensions. Guess their weekend will be better cause I have their stuff or something.
