Question

I am entering medical expenses of almost $20K. I don't understand the directive to just enter the full amount without any details. Will the CRA accept this without them?

Directive is to enter individual or one sum total without details. I like option 2 but will they accept?

    If you enter a total, then the CRA might request more information from you about the expenses after you file your return, though they might do this even if you put in individual amounts.

     

    A compromise would be to group together expenses and then enter the totals of the groups. Ex: all dentist receipts = $5000, all prescriptions = $2500 etc...
