疗费用要我们承担。是真的吗？
如果是的话，父母2011年是tax dependent,2012不是。在2012年的医疗费用也要我们负
责吗？
谢谢。 | e********3
发帖数: 18578 | 2 My source indicates just claiming a parent as a dependent would not make the
children liable for the parent's medical bills - only if they signed
something indicating they would take responsibility for them. Claiming them
as a dependent just means you furnished financial support to them during the
year.
I'm assuming you're not your mother's guardian & that you do not have
financial POA over her affairs but that you just helped her out financially
on your own during the year. That seems to be the case.
As a matter of fact I have a friend who had been claiming her dad as a
dependent on her inc. tax form due to the amt. of support she put out for
her dad each year. After he passed away, she was not responsible for his
medical bills. As he didn't have any money/assets to speak of, she said the
doctors & hosp. got nothing. She just sent the bills back saying deceased &
no estate.
