Dependant and daughter expences

[virgie41964]

My daughter is 16 years old, she worked and have income of over $6,000 on 2014.  Now when I file my income tax as a parent, can I claim my daughter as a dependant and enter her medical and sports expenses?  Or Who will claim the expenses if she is filing her income tax? Thank you.

Yes you file her as a dependant and you claim the medical and child activity credits.
She can and should file a return in order get a possible tax refund and build RRSP deductibility.
As a a first time filer she may have to file by mail.
