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?

You would need to complete those payments under the Amounts not recovered by medical aid on your tax return in the Medical section. Register for TaxTim and let us assist you in completing and submitting your tax return to SARS.

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.
