Sharing of medical expenses
By default, the program will optimize the claim
for medical expenses for your family. If you want to override
the choices made by the program, please follow the steps below for
residents in any province or territory, except Quebec:
1. On the "Left side menu of the Interview tab", select
the item "Medical, disability, caregiver" and on the screen
to the right, choose the line "Sharing of medical
expenses''.
2. On the page that opens, select the option that corresponds to
your situation in the first drop-down menu.
3. If you selected ''Claim specified amount'', enter the
amount in the field preceded by the "$" sign.
The program will report the amount to line 33200 of
federal Step 5.
For residents of Québec, the procedure mentioned above
applies to the federal return.
For the Quebec return, the program will claim the medical
expenses in the file of the person with the highest income.
On the line "To modify the program's decision for Quebec
medical expenses, indicate your preference here", choose
"Claiming medical expenses for all family members" from the
drop-down menu on your right.
Important note: this choice must be made in the
file of the person claiming medical expenses.
The program will carry over the amount to line 381 of
the Quebec return, according to the information entered in section
C of Quebec Schedule B.
