Need to know your specific financial situation
Lillyth,
If you want to PM me, we can discuss your situation in greater detail. If the surgery works out to be more than your income, you will ultimately have taxable income of zero. Then everything that's been withheld from your husband's paycheck for Federal and State (most likely) will come back to you in the form of a refund when you file your 2013 taxes. All I'm saying is a tax deduction is not the same as a tax credit. A deduction reduces your taxable income and can bring you down to a lower tax bracket in many cases. A credit is a dollar for dollar reduction in your tax liability. Share this posting with your CPA and he'll clarify it.
