Do I qualify for medical tax credit?

Posted 28 September 2014

My medical aid contribution is R3500 each month for my husband and I. I filled this in next to source code 4040 on the eFiling form but when I save and ask to ' calculate tax' then the source code 4008 medical expenses (total) shows 0.... How does this work, am I doing something wrong or do I not qualify for the medical tax credit??
