How to deduct eye exam and eye glasses?

In TurboTax Standard, do I select T-Slips, Receipts, Medical? Enter 1 column for eye exam, and another column for eye glasses?

Thanks!

How to deduct eye exam and eye glasses?

As per the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), if you have a prescription, you may deduct these as medical expenses. If you're a Quebec resident, vision care is subject to limitation and must be entered separately.

To enter this in TurboTax Online, please follow these instructions:

  1. Deductions (in the left-side menu ≡)
  2. Medical Expenses Profile
  3. Select all of the checkboxes that apply to you.
  4. Click "Enter New Medical Expense"
  5. Click "+ Add Medical Receipt" or enter the total amount of your medical receipts

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
