If I claim the disability amount on my mother's tax return, I am still able to claim $10,000 for attendant care on my federal medical expenses. But as well, for 2017, I am able to claim $14065 in attendant care on my Ontario medical expenses. I cannot figure out how I would enter different amounts for federal and for Ontario medical expenses. Any help on this would be great. Does TurboTax even have this ability? Note that this does not mean the Medical expenses are capped at $10,000, but rather that Attendant Care is maximum of $10,000. It is possible to claim more than $10,000 in medical expenses on the federal form.
I am having the same issue as you for my mother-in-laws final return (2020).
For the 2020 tax return , Turbotax requires an override on the second to last line "extra allowable portion of medical expenses eligible only for Ontario purposes" on the Medical Expenses Worksheet.
In my mother-in-laws case, attendant care costs were $26,802. $20000 is allowable federally and the entire amount in Ontario. It is advantageous to also claim the disability tax credit.
Do you know of anyway to put an amount in the "extra allowable expense..." line without doing an override ?
Thanks
HI,
I think I'm facing the same situation for my mother-in-law.
Facts: Qualifies for DTC (approved); resident of Ontario
Attendant care expenses of $48,341.48 incurred in 2022.
Using PC version of Turbotax.
I understand that she cannot claim the DTC + her attendant care expenses in the same year. I'm still deciding as to whether to claim the DTC this year and try to carry over her attendant care expenses as "Medical Expenses" into the future but that's another issue. As the attendant care expenses are large, I believe the best option will be to enter them as medical expenses BUT I think I'm subject to certain limitations as she is a resident of Ontario. How does one enter these amounts in Turbotax?
Thanks.
This method is not valid because the extra amount will also be included with the federal medical expenses.
