Medical expenses incurred outside of the area

Program(s) affected: T1 Document created: March 16, 2004 Tax year(s): 2003 Document last modified: March 24, 2004 Version(s): Problem status: Fixed

Why is DT Max claiming the medical expenses incurred outside of the area on the Quebec returns of both spouses? And shouldn't these medical expenses be claimed on the federal return as well?

These problems occur in versions 7.01, 7.10 and 7.14. DT Max should not be claiming these expenses on both spouses' TP1 returns, but should indeed claim them federally as regular medical expenses.

As a workaround, override line 378 of the Quebec return for the spouse who should NOT claim these expenses (using the keyword Override). Then, on the federal return, use the keyword Medical and enter the medical expenses incurred outside of the area, then use [Alt+J] to enter $0,00 as the Quebec amount.

These problems are now fixed in v7.20.
