Accounting

Samuel, a 36-year-old individual who has been physically disabled for a year, paid $15,000 for the installation of
wheelchair ramps, support bars, railings, and widening doorways in his personal residence. These improvements
increased the value of his personal residence by $4,000. How much of Samuel's expenditures qualify as a
medical expense deduction (subject to the 7.5%-of-AGI floor)? Explain.
Reminder( When considering home upgrades for medical reasons, it's important to evaluate their potential impact on your property's value. However, if the modifications are specifically intended for someone with a physical disability, you may not need to factor in how much they enhance the home's value.)
