Perla says: 17 August 2015 at 10:48 I pay monthly amounts from my bank account for a medical aid for my mom. The medical aid is in her name though. Can I put these contributions on my tax return. If yes where will it be entered on SARS eFiling? |
TaxTim says: 17 August 2015 at 17:00 Is your mom financially dependent on you? |
Perla says: 18 August 2015 at 6:09 Yes, she lives with me and she can't afford her monthly medical bill |
TaxTim says: 18 August 2015 at 20:01 Yes, you can then enter her medical amounts. Add it to the number of dependents and then add the amount spent to 4040 on your tax return. |
Perla says: 19 August 2015 at 7:29 Thanks, this is helpful |
TaxTim says: 20 August 2015 at 6:46 Only a pleasure! If SARS asks for proof then you need to submit a letter stating why you pay for her medical aid. |
