A Special Deduction For Handicapped
The snow has given way u.
spring rain, flowers are
blooming, birds are singing,
and taxpayers across the
state are frantically sear
ching for every deduction
they can find.
But handicapped taxpayers
often overlook one special
deduction. •
If the taxpayer, or a depen
dent, is handicapped and re
quires a specially-equipped
van or car for transportation,
the cost of converting that
vehicle for handicapped use is
tax deductible, according to
the IRS. This can mean a
medical expense deduction of
thousands of dollars for the
handicapped taxpayer which
will help pay the cost of the
van itself.
“Converting a van only lets
the handicapped person
resume a more self-sufficient
lifestyle by driving to work or
going shopping, it also
restores the important feeling
of independence,” said David
Wendt.
The cost of converting a van
varies, according to Wendt,
president of Van Products, a,
Raleigh companysmcialfcing
in converting l>«*i**nd>Mhr,
Vehicles for handicapped
drivers. Van Products serves
the North Carolina, South
Carolina and Virginia areas.
Peggy Harris, a taxpayer
service specialist in the IRS
district office in Greensboro
said that the allowable deduc
tion is the difference between
what the completely con
verted van costs, and the cost
of a similar, unconverted van.
“People are definitely pay
ing close attention to their
deductions,” Harris said.
“We always have many ques
tions about medical expense
deductions. The best way to
determine the deductions
you’re entitled to is read the

appropriate IRS publications
thoroughly.”
Two helpful IRS publica- |
tions are publication 17 and
publication 502, which states
that, “You may include in
medical expenses the cost of
special hand controls and
other special equipment in
stalled in a car for the use of
a handicapped person.” It
also states that, “Hie amount
by which the cost of a car
specially designed to hold a
wheelchair is more than the
cost of a regular car is a
medical expense.” (page 5-6).
A conversion doesn’t
necessarily have to be done on
a new van, according to
Wendt. He said that many
times a person will buy a two
or three-year-old van from a
dealer, then bring it to Van
Products for a conversion. A
used van is less expensive and
converts equally as well, he
said, and helps reduce the
total cost of obtaining a van.
“A person’s independence
means a lot, and when regain
ing that independence is tax
deductible, it makes it even
more meaningful. Being able
to<lyiuct the cost of
.ting & van definitely
the purchase Within" thw’i
budget range of many more
people.”
If a handicapped person
purchased a specially
equipped van in 1982, the cost
of converting that van for
handicapped use may be used
as medical expense deduction
on 1982 tax returns.
If the purchase of a van is
in the works for 1983,
remember that the cost of
converting it will be deducti
ble on next year’s return.
“Not only will the van pro
vide increased independence
during 1983, but when tax
times arrives again a year
from now, it will provide a
substantial medical expense
deduction,” concluded Wendt.
