Medical aid deduction?



For part of the 2014 tax year my fiancé and I were part of Medihelp. He was the principal member thus the tax certificate is in his name, however the contributions were deducted from my bank account each month. Can he still include the medical aid on his tax return? Later on in the year we got married and everything is now in my name so we wont have a repeat, thank goodness.

He can include this in his name as he is the principal member.
