Ban Vallew has a son, Katt, by a previous marriage, who is in the custody of his ex-wife. Katt Vallew has a history of emotional disturbance, and he has been sent to a psychiatrist for several years for this problem.This year he has become so disturbed, manifesting violence at home and school, that he had to be sent to a special school in Arizona for problem children. This school is very expensive ($2,000 per month), the cost of which Ban pays for. Ban would like to determine whether he is entitled to the medical expenses deduction (over 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income) for the cost of sending his son to this special school.

1) List as many possible tax research issues as you can to determine tax treatment(s) available to Ban on the payments to the special school.

2) After completing your list of tax research issues, list the keywords you might use to construct a computer tax research query.

3) Execute a computer search using your query. For simplicity, select the IRS Publications database from whichever computer tax service you use. Summarize your findings.
