If my taxes are zero should i still claim medical health care coverage premiums and charity receipts or is it just a waste of time? 89 year old widow

Hello,  thank you for your question.  If you do not owe any taxes then you don't need to claim your medical expenses.  You may be able to use those in the following year if they apply.  You can collect your charity receipts for up to 5 years in case you have a year when you do owe taxes.
