Hello, thank you for your reply. it might be that but i am not sure. The mail i got doesn't mention that but says " Taxable health and dental benefit amounts for Quebec residents " I work in QC and live in QC. i believe that amount on my side may be the the RL1 Box J - Private health insurance plan. But since my wife only gets t4 (working in ON) that option is not available in the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTaxSmith Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Hi Doruk. What your wife received is a letter from the employer indicating the amount of the medical insurance/benefit paid by the employer. That amount is taxable as employment income in Quebec and will not appear on a T4 from Ontario. You have to add it to the Quebec employment income and also report it as a medical expense. I looked around Ufile for a place to enter it easily but could not find something. Nawal I am sure knows where it should be entered. It is not the Quebec Drug Plan, but it will most likely indicate to Quebec that you have a drug plan and will not have to pay into the Quebec plan.

Starting from the last, there is a drugplan page right at the beggining where we mention sjhe has her group plan. For the benefits, i believe it is like you mentioned. However, like you said i cannot find where i will enter it in ufile. i tried calling them woth premium membership but i can't reach anyone even after 2 hour wait...

Doruk Posted March 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 I was able to reach someone on the phone but they didn't know how to enter that and will get back to me later if they can find out. @Nawal any chance you could help me with this? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTaxSmith Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Hi Doruk. Would be interested in the solution, not for myself, but how Ufile deals with it. I am sure there are other people in a similar situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFiler_QC Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 @Nawal I have the exact same issue and I don't know how to declare the amount on my return. Could you guide me too, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a workaround to do this. I am still not 100% sure but this is what i use and it definitely makes us owe more since it shows as additional income (In her case around 5k) just because of the benefits. Then you claim it as medical expenses but it still increases the overall taxes owed by about 1k. "In the "Left side menu on the Interview tab", by selecting "T4A and pension income" and then, on the screen to your right, choosing the line "T4A - Pension income (RL-2) with taxable benefits (RL-1)". Go all the way down to the page on "Taxable benefits" and enter the amount in box A and J." If you found out anything else please let me know.

RandolfMoore Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 I'm sorry you're having trouble with your taxes. Navigating all the different rules and regulations can be difficult. I'm unfamiliar with the website software you're using, but have you tried looking under "deductibles"? Sometimes those benefits can be considered a deduction. If that doesn't work, contact the site's support team for help. They can point you in the right direction. I usually use a cosmetic dentist https://jeffreygrossdds.com/services/cosmetic-dentistry/ and have never had a problem. I hope you figure it all out soon, and good luck with that.

I was hesitant to start therapy, but after some encouragement from my friends, I decided to find a psychologist . I found a website that made the process so simple. All I had to do was enter my location and I was presented with a list of psychologists in my area. I was able to read through their profiles and even watch video introductions. I found a psychologist that seemed like a great fit and started my therapy sessions soon after. Thanks to that website, I'm on my way to a healthier state of mind. Well, I wouldn't be so sure, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
