Deductions available for service animals

Many disabled persons with service animals are unaware of the tax deductions for them. IRS Pub 502 for guide dogs or other service animals.

You can include in medical expenses the costs of buying, training, and maintaining a guide dog or other service animal to assist a visually impaired or hearing disabled person, or a person with other physical disabilities.
