Over a certain amount a gift is taxable so your brother might be required to pay some tax on that 50%. You might be able to deduct a portion of the check to your brother as a gift, which would possibly reduce your taxes. ...Just ideas -- see a tax professional (whose fees can be part of the deductions from next year's taxes). ...Mileage to/from doctor's visits (your's, your car, not shuttling someone else) can also be a deduction. ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
