Line 33199

How do I fill out line 33199 in ufile?  I'm claiming some medical expenses that I paid for my parents (who count as my dependants) but can't seem to figure out how to get this amount into line 33199.  Ufile when clicking on the info link under "medical expenses" says any amounts I enter will be reported under 33099 which is my medical expenses not my dependants.

Ideas?

I have the same question. I read the link to the CRA web site, but that doesn't help with how to get Ufile to recognize that your expenses are 33199 and not 33099. Is there a Ufile-specific answer to this?

Specifically, the "Medical expenses" page in the Interview section is for one's own medical expenses, and since the person I'm claiming as a dependent (not a child under 18, therefore Line 33199) is not included as part of my (family's) return, there doesn't appear to be any place to claim this deduction.

Hello Dunstan,

To claim medical expenses for a dependant you must enter this person into your file as a dependant. Enter the medical expenses into their file and UFILE will optimize the amount.

When completing "relationship" to family head, it is sister-in-law which is not on the list.  The dependant for medical expenses is my wife's sister, so should we enter "sister" for relationship?  Also, does adding her as a dependant in this way prevent us from using uFile to submit her taxes as an individual, not as a dependant?

 

Thanks

Hello DaveYVR,

Enter as "Sister".
