His favorite superhero is the Black Panther, favorite movie Spiderman, and his living room is full of Legos and toy cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Bo has so much more going on in his little body than the eye can see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe has type one diabetes, growth hormone deficiency, chronic lung disease, and epilepsy,\u201d said Carolyn Macan, Bo\u2019s mother. \u201cHe has had, like, 58 surgeries, three ports and he sports a lot of medical equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of years ago, the Macan family added a new member to the family, Gia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe can alert us if his blood sugar is dropping or if it is too high,\u201d said Macan. \u201cOne of our biggest things is night alerting. When a diabetic goes to bed there are no signs when their blood sugar is changing and that is when Gia will come in my room and alert me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you ask Bo about his four-legged friend he simply will say, \u201cShe is a superhero.\u201d And the Macan family sees her the same way; a vital extension to their family. But at tax time, the family says they have never thought of how Gia could play a factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cService animals can be deducted come tax time as a medical expense,\u201d said Lynn Ebel, a tax attorney with the Tax Institute at H&amp;R Block. \u201cYou want to make sure that you have all the necessary paperwork. That includes certification that the pet is actually a service animal, a diagnosis of the medical care needed and verification that this pet actually benefits you and your symptoms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it turns out that it\u2019s not just support pets that can qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-emotional-support-animal-may-qualify-for-tax-deduction\">Emotional support animal may qualify for tax deduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some have made unusual choices when it comes to selecting an emotional support animal. &nbsp;There was the man in Florida who fought to keep a squirrel who he said helped him with post-traumatic stress following a car accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others have tried to take animals like ducks, turkeys and pigs on flights, saying they all are emotional support animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unusual, but not unheard of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter the animal,\u201d said Ebel. \u201cIt all depends on if there is a diagnosis and whether this animal has been identified to help someone through their symptoms of illness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, it is on a case-by-case basis. Owners of emotional support animals will still need the same paperwork and verification of those service animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-claiming-the-service-animal-tax-deduction-at-tax-time\">Claiming the service animal tax deduction at tax time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what can the owner of a service animal or emotional pet write off?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Ebel it\u2019s not just the purchase price of the pet, but vet bills, grooming, food, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo take medical expenses for a service pet you need to make sure you are itemizing,\u201d said Ebel. \u201cUnder the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act the standard deduction has almost doubled so people who used to itemize last year may find out this year they cannot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, only medical expenses that exceed 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income may be deducted. That threshold rises to 10 percent in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with that said, it\u2019s worth looking into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Macans, and other families who have never claimed their pets at tax time, there is still a chance to make sure they did not miss out on anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IRS allows taxpayers three years to file or amend a return to claim a refund.
