Claim your medical expenses
January 25, 2005
Did you know…
You can claim, as a non-refundable tax credit, medical expenses for yourself, your spouse or common-law partner, and your children born in 1987 or later. For 2004, the total expenses have to be more than 3% of your net income, or $1,813, whichever is less. You may be able to pool your claims with those of your spouse or common-law partner. You may also be able to claim medical expenses for the following persons if they depended on you for support:
- you or your spouse or common law partner's child or grandchild who was born in 1986 or earlier; and
- you or your spouse or common law partner's parent or close relatives who lived in Canada at any time in the year.
