Receipts must be filed ,with the ' return evidencing payment Of the expense claimed. An exception is the payment .of non-government sponsored health care plan premiums. ''Although the. mechanics of the deduction are fairly simple, the eligibility of particular types of expenses, the elibibility of the person .receiving the medical care and the timing of the claim are not so straightforward.. It is. my guess a lot of medical expenses go unclaimed. To be deductible; medical expenses trust have been incurred by the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, or a dependent for whom a' dependent's deduction. could be claimed 'for the year in which' the medical expense was ,incurred. Now, there's more to ' this than easily meets the eye. The words "for the year in which the medical expense was . incurred" apply only in the case of dependents ether than a spouse. The effect is that a .taxpayer can always claim otherwise eligible medical expenses in respect of his or her spouse, even if no dependency claim is • being - made for the spouse. On the other hand, to claim medical expenses in respect of a dependent other than a spouse, • the particular dependent must have been claimable' by the taxpayer in the year in which the medical expense was, incurred, even though medical expenses are only deductible when paid. Also note that either the husband or wife can claim medical expenses in respect of each other. Therefore if they are both filing tax returns they should always work it out both ways to determine who should make fhe claim in any par- ticular year. In the circumstances where medical expenses are in- curred in respect of a dependent, . but are not deductible because the. dependent is not claimable due to his or her income being in excess of the allowable limits for the particular year, the Income Tax Act might provide relief by what is called a 'notch provision'. This provision allows the taxpayer, if it, is to his advantage to do so, to add to his income the amount by which the .dependent's income exceeds the limit and then deduct the medical expenses, provided they would otherwise be deductible. It is highly unlikely this provision would be to your advantage, but you should be aware of it. The actual Wording of the Income Tax Act provides for the deduction of otherwise eligible medical expenses if they were paid either by the taxpayer or his spouse "within a period of 12 months ending in the year" provided they were 'not previously deducted. It Can be seen, then, that the 12 -month period need notbe Jan..i to Dec. 31; it can be Any 12 months ending .tn the particular year. This might be particularly important in circumstances where an ill- ness oi, for example, ex- tensive dental work, began in the latter half of one year. and extended over to the first part of the following year. In either calendar year the threeper, cent -of -income threshold Might .eliminate: or severely ' 'reduce the claim, whereat. if a 12 -month period ending in the second year is chosen a deduction might be available or significantly higher than if split. , • Furthermore, a 12 -month periof, once chosen, does not obligate thetaxpayer to retain it for subsequent taxation years. So a 1979 claim might cover expenses paid between Sept.,1, 1978, and Aug. 31, 1979; whereas the same` taxpayer's 1980 claim could ' cover the period March 1; 1979, to Feb. 28; 1980, so long as no par- ticular expense is claimed twice. • Because unusually high medical expenses are often incurred in the final illness of an individual, some of which may not actually be paid until after his death, his executors may, if they wish, choose a 12 - month period beginning in the taxation year instead of en- ding in the year. The depart- ment will also ,allow this op- tion for the year prior to death.
