We have all heard Benjamin Franklin's dire truism, "In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." For a number of us there is also the uncomfortable certainty of living with incontinence and its expense. If you have ever wondered if this subject could have anything to do with taxes, you need look no further than the IRS Publication 502, a little paper that directly addresses medically related expenses which you can claim on your income tax return.

Home care products that are a necessary part of caring for a particular illness are tax deductible. Adult diapers and their related maintenance items such as wipes, ointments and latex gloves fall into this category.

So find the best deal going and hang on to your receipts.   It's time to put a silver lining in those adult diapers.

Here is a link to IRS publication 502.
