Gut Punched: Alzheimer’s and Caregivers EP 95 - Tax Deductions and Credits for Caregivers

Caregiving is many things: rewarding, exhausting, emotional, and often expensive. In Episode 95 of GutPunched, host Jeff Edwards tackles a topic many caregivers overlook but that they absolutely need to understand: tax deductions and tax credits that may help them financially. With tax season approaching faster than most of us would like, Jeff discusses several potential tax benefits caregivers may qualify for, along with common myths and facts that often confuse families caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Of course, no episode of GutPunched would be complete without the humor and honesty caregivers rely on to survive the journey. Jeff reflects on Florida weather, the realities of caregiver life (like hoping for a full night of sleep and a cup of coffee that stays hot), and the importance of attending caregiver support groups, whether in person or on Zoom. The episode also includes another segment of “What’s New in Alzheimer’s?” featuring Dr. John Huffaker, in which a listener's question is addressed, and new developments in Alzheimer’s care and research are discussed. Jeff also reminds listeners of the Five Tenets of Caregiving, practical rules every caregiver should remember, including taking care of yourself first and building a support system to help you navigate the long journey of caring for someone with memory loss. This episode is a must-listen for caregivers looking for practical information, financial insights, emotional validation, and a reminder that they are not alone.
