On my Irp5 I have R5,911 under source code 4116 for medical scheme fees tax credit! I however have paid cash for some visits and this does not reflect as these were doctors not affiliated to medical schemes! How do I go about adding the amounts I spent and where do I add them and which source codes to use?

Thank you for your response, however I have neglected to mention that I'm not using e-filing and I submit it manually so there is no forms that I fill in, I simply go to SARS with relevant documentation then they do the rest!

You need to take this IRP5, unaltered, and the proof of medical expenses (invoices or receipts paid) to a SARS office. Alternatively you can register for SARS eFiling and then Register for TaxTim and let us assist.
