As with many other professions, the range of eligible expenses for medical professionals is very broad, so make sure to keep all receipts for eligible claim costs for tax time.
Medical professionals can claim expenses such as:
- Union dues
- Professional and organization fees
- Profession-related insurance costs (including malpractice insurance)
- Certification and licencing fees (such as the licencing fee on Schedule 11 as tuition for nurses)
Employment expenses may also include home and office costs and some related equipment if you worked at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If you had to work from home because of the pandemic, make sure you have a Form T2200 Declaration of Conditions of Employment signed by your employer, showing expense types and reimbursements.
Fees reimbursed by your employer can't be claimed. For other reimbursements, you may need a signed Form T2200S. For more information, see Home office expenses for employees.
