Is there a credit for type 1 diabetics?

[judys3]

I have a tax client that was told there is a tax credit for type 1 diabetics.  I have searched and have tried to find this credit.  Any others have seen this and can point me in the right direction?

Definitely not a federal tax credit, but the medical expenses would be allowed on Schedule A if they Itemize and have enough medical expenses.

Perhaps there is a state credit (although personally, that seems doubtful to me).

google is wonderful. CANADA has a credit for type one diabetics

You don't say, eh.

Yes google is definitely great and I did google and search before coming here to ask.  I saw Canada had a credit and would be nice if we did also.  Thank you.

A friend contacted me about an issue in selling an inherited home. A client sent her a screen shot similar to this one

At least this one gives reference to a tax form which should get you back on right track soon, but the one she had was not so generous. We spent hours tracking it down. Finally I found the quote from a UK tax source. Clients can be really DUMB and/or MEAN at some times. The image sent and the attitude of that client got them fired. 

Aren't we in a fun profession?
