LENNUU Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Hello, I have Ufile 4. My mother is dependant on me. During the entire 2022 she lived in long term care centre. A private personnel support worker was hired to provide attendant care service to my mother. I am aware that both of these costs are medical expenses. In Ufile section, “Medical and disability”, “Medical expenses”, “Specific medical expenses (not claimed elsewhere)” there are “Cost of attendant care” and “Fees for a residential and long term care centre” selections. My mother paid all of the fees for the long term care centre. She paid for 25% of the attendant care services and I paid the balance. How do I enter this in UFile? Thank you, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo123 Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Hello LENNUU, You should enter the amount actually paid (ie what you and your Mother paid) in the Dependant's Medical Expense Section - as noted above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LENNUU Posted May 2 Author Report Share Posted May 2 In my draft 2022 UFile tax return I have included my mother as a dependent. During 2022 my mother paid the entire $22,000 fee for the long term care centre. She paid $5,000 of the cost of attendant care and I paid the balance of $15,000. In my mother’s tax return I entered in the section, “Medical and disability”, “Medical expenses”, “Specific medical expenses (not claimed elsewhere)” $22,000 for “Fees for a residential and long term care centre” and $5,000 for the “Cost of attendant care”. Where do I enter the $15,000 I paid for the “Cost of attendant care”. If I enter the entire $20,000 “Cost of attendant care” in my mother’s tax return how do I claim $15,000 and my mother claim $5,000.

Geo123 Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Hello LENNUU, Yes, you can enter in each file but please note that the benefit also relates to the income. Line 33199 – You can claim the part of eligible medical expenses you or your spouse or common-law partner paid for any of the following persons who depended on you for support: your or your spouse’s or common-law partner’s children who were 18 years of age or older at the end of the tax year, or grandchildren your or your spouse’s or common-law partner’s parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, nephews, or nieces who were residents of Canada at any time in the yearhttps://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/publications/rc4065/medical-expenses.html#toc2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
