Employment expenses go on line 229. It's important that he uses his vehicle for work purposes, not just going to and from work. He needs to be using the vehicle in his everyday duties. I have attached a guide for you to read. I would suggest calling CRA as it is a complicated topic. You need to determine if he is a salaried employee or earning commission because the rules change depending on that. Read this guide and if you need further info you can ask me or call CRA directly @ 1-800-959-8281. As for the medical expenses he can claim that on line 330. You can claim medical expenses paid in any 12-month period ending in 2010 and not claimed for 2009. Generally, you can claim all amounts paid, even if they were not paid in Canada. Your total expenses have to be more than either 3% of your net income (line 236) or $2,024, whichever is less. I hope this helpsAsta said:hey guys, congrats to those who got news recently.
i want to ask some things about filling taxes forms. maybe its not the right place but since we are such a friendly bunch i hope to get some advice hehe
1. My hubby uses his own car for work. he reports km weekly. employer adds money for used km in his salary. so where should i put his "motor vehicle allowence" sum of money for kilometers he driven to work? is it taxable? if i put it to "other income", it will be taxed twice in my opinion, cause they are already included in his 2weekly salary. should we put it as employment expenses?
2. hubby been to dentist several times last year. do we add this money charged to medical expenses? we added but it didnt give any difference for outcome. the question is - do i have to mention his received work insurance benefits? the ones that insurance partly paid for his dental procedures? and where should i put it?..
i was trying googling, but i cant find the answer. maybe any of u are in same situation or know how to do it?
if i call canada revenue, will they really tell me what where to write? or are they like cic call angents? hehe
p.s. my hubby is no good with papers xD so im the one doing it
1.- That amount should appear on his T1 box 40 or 42 (Im at work, dont remember exactly where is that in the T1 form) so you only need to reported, if using QuickTax or Inuit on the Form T1. That amount is not taxable. Is not an employement expense.Asta said:
even if i didnt receive Foss notes, i know that background checks are a must. everyone gets background checks. usually its being done by CIC after u get AIP. if its being done before AIP, its is not a bad thing, its a good thing. it means u will get PR faster. usually after AIP they do background checks and they are the reason for long wait of PR.TeresaLynn said:
thank u for replies..canadiancitizen said:
ok... if the company pay this expenses you should see this amount on T1, right?... then in your Tax Software you should choose the Form input method, by doing that, mirror the amount with the screen form. I do understand he uses his car for work but, normally or in a normal world, many companies do include a compound KM rate to cover mechanical or car maintenance in their rate, haven said that... you dont need to report those expenses in your taxes... ask your husband to see human resources or payroll people what is the km rate for .. they should be able to tell him what to do... going back to the Tax Program are made to facilitate your life, so use Tutorial by inserting the form number (T777) and follow the indications... HOWEVER according to the Form T777 guidelines you are not suppossed to claim any expenses if you are already being pay for KM... check the guidline for T777. http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/tg/t4044/t4044-10e.pdf " page 8 You did not receive a non-taxable allowance for motor vehicle expenses. Generally, an allowance is non-taxable then it is based solely on a reasonable per-kilometre rate.Asta said:
