Out of Pocket Medical Expenses

  Written by Evan   Posted 7 July 2015

My Mom is in her late 80s and stays in her own suite in a retirement home and during the day she is independent.

The charge for the overnight stay in the clinic is added to her monthly account. As she is being looked after by qualified nurses at night can she claim this amount as an out of pocket medical expense?

  Written by Evan   Posted 7 July 2015

Is it normal to no longer receive a physical copy of your IRP5? For the last few years, I have not received the usual paper copy, but just logged on to eFiling and my IRP information was already filled in on my personal income tax return form.

I submitted my tax return via efiling on 01 July. I was as per usual selected for audit. I received an initial assessment and upon submitting my supporting documents they obviously decided to disallow some of my medical expenses.
