I noticed that one of the options in Turbotax for 2012 is to enter medical expenses incurred in 2011 but not claimed then. Could the PR medical expenses be added to the 2012 tax assessment? (There is already quite a high figure for medical expenses for 2012 - approx $4.3k.)

Yes, but it has to be for only a year period ending in 2012.

No, anywhere in the world as long as the doctor is licensed to practice in the country where the medical procedure takes place. However, you can't claim for medical expenses incurred before you become tax-resident in Canada.

Hi,

So can I claim my medical for Canada on my UK tax return while I am still resident in the UK?
