T5007

Hi I am helping a senior file her return, she has  a T5007 slip and wants to know if she can enter internet & cable tv expenses along with rent paid for Ontario residence. Thx

No, she cannot claim these on her T5007, she must enter the T5007 as it was given to her.

The only way she could claim these expenses is if she was self-employed and needed these to perform her job.
