Getting started
Thank you for choosing TurboTax,
As per CRA, the salaries and wages paid for designing a personalized therapy plan are eligible medical expenses if certain conditions are met.
The plan has to be designed for a person who is eligible for the disability tax credit (DTC) and paid to someone who is in the business of providing such services to unrelated persons.
The therapy has to be prescribed and supervised by one of the following practitioners:
- a psychologist, a medical doctor, or a nurse practitioner (for expenses incurred after September 7, 2017) for a mental impairment
- an occupational therapist, a medical doctor, or a nurse practitioner (for expenses incurred after September 7, 2017) for a physical impairment
Lines would be under 33099 and 33199. Please visit the article on Lines 33099 and 33199 – Eligible medical expenses you can claim on your tax return
Please follow the steps to fill your medical expenses
- On the left side menu, select Deductions
- Click “Medical Expense Profile”
- Select “Medical Receipts 2019 or 2020” (which one works for you)
- Select “Prescriptions”
- Enter amount
