Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
To claim the payments of your health plan premium, include them with your other eligible medical expenses and claim the credit on line 33099 of your return.
If you are paying premiums under a plan managed by your employer, you will find the exact amount paid on your T4 Statement of Remuneration slip in Box 85 of the “other information” section. If you do not have the information on a T4 slip, keep your receipts to be able to prove the amounts you paid in the event of a CRA audit.
If you have retired or left a job where your employer still pays for your health plan premiums, you will receive a T4A Statement of Pension, Retirement, Annuity, and Other Income slip with the amount shown in Box 135.
