Health Insurance Premiums

[Alex44]

I have health insurance with my employer however they only pay half of it and the other half comes out of my monthly salary.

Would I be able to claim the half that I paid in my taxes under medical expenses?

Hello Alex44,

Enter to medical expenses

 [Date - Private health services plan premium]  - [$Amount]

Note

Employee-paid premiums to a private health services plan are considered qualifying medical expenses and can be claimed by the employee on their income tax and benefit return.

I am paying for my extended medical benefits at my work while I am off on a leave.  Work has sent me a T4 for 2023, but it did not include any of the medical benefits I had paid.  I had to request for them to send me the information on it. They send me a sheet indicating the amount of money I contributed to the extended medical benefits in 2023.  

I am unsure where to put this new sheet of information in Ufile as there is NO label on it like T4 or T4A. The sheet only states " the following benefits were paid by this employee..."

So where should I put this?

You enter the benefits paid as you would any other medical receipt; in the medical receipts section of the Interview.
