deductible medical mileage

[rrick]

Hi,
Does anyone know if the following can be deducted as a medical expense? It will help if you know a reference. Thanks. The state is Az.

1) Mileage to the swimming pool and back for swimming prescribed as treatment for asthma?

2) Mileage to provide daycare and nursing care to a paralyzed dependent in another city.

Make sure you check all that info and see that it covers the tax year you are filing for.
