Baby's expenses for tax

[YousifBreesam]

Hi I have a question about including my 2017 baby's expenses when i file my taxes soon. Are baby's formula and baby's little stuff counted as expenses?

Another question about expenses, i drive to work everyday and that's about 20-25 one way in the car! Can i include the gas money as expenses too? Please help me

No - you cannot include these items as expenses in your tax return.

1. Expenses used for infant such as infant formula are not eligible for tax claiming. The only expense you can claim would be for daycare or caregivers expenses.

2. Unless your employment requires you to use your own car for work purposes then you can claim gas and mileage. Your employer will have to provide a T2200 for you to claim in your personal tax return.

No buying a car is not a taxable expense.
