Can my elderly parents claim ambulance fees paid in 2022 in their tax return? And where should they enter the amounts in the TurboTax? Thanks.

They have more than one ambulance bill.

An amount paid to transport a patient by ambulance to or from a public or licensed private hospital is an eligible medical expense. In the same way, if you need to hire a professional transportation service, this will be an eligible medical expense under the following circumstances:

• The patient travels to a place that is at least 40 kilometres away from the locality where he usually lives;
• Substantially equivalent medical services are unavailable within the patient’s locality;
• The patient takes a reasonably direct travel route having regard to the circumstances; and
• It is reasonable, in the circumstances, for the patient to travel to that place for the medical services.

To enter medical expenses, use the "Find" button on the upper right corner. Type "Medical Expenses Profile", then "Go".

Check the box that says, "Medical Receipts-2022". Continue.

Enter New Medical Expenses. You can either enter medical receipts individually or enter medical expenses total amount. Continue, then click Done with Medical Expenses.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
