TaxTim Marc said: 17 August 2015 at 17:00 Is your mom financially dependent on you? |

Perla said: 18 August 2015 at 6:09 Yes, she lives with me and she can't afford her monthly medical bill |

TaxTim Marc said: 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. |
