Helen Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Can I claim private health insurance premium as medical? It started as group plan by employer, then I continued to pay by myself. It is eligible for claim? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papet Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Good day Helen, You can claim the insurance premium you paid yourself as medical expense, federal (and Quebec if applicable). Verify your T4 slip (and RL-1 if applicable). There might be a Box 85 (RL-1, Box 235) with the premium you paid. If yes, enter the amount in your T4 (or T4/RL-1) page. - Box 85 is located at the bottom of the page - UFile will then use the amount as Medical expense If no, enter the amount in the Medical expenses page.

Helen Posted May 2 Author Report Share Posted May 2 Thank you kindly for your reply. Box 85 is empty as my employment status changed. Your reply was helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankohilery Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 In some cases, you might be able to claim private health insurance premiums as a medical expense. However, it can depend on various factors, including your specific insurance plan and local tax laws. To get a clearer answer, you might want to consult with a tax professional or accountant who can provide personalized advice based on your situation. Additionally, you could check out this webpage I found, https://lifestyletothemax.co.uk, which might offer some insights or connect you with others who've had similar questions.
