    According to TurboTax, hearing aids are considered a medical expense . Please note that receipts are required to claim these costs and should be attached to your tax return if you file a paper copy by mail. If you file electronically, save all your receipts together in case the CRA requests these at a later date.

     

    As per TurboTax, you can claim any eligible medical expenses if they occurred in a 12-month period that ends in the current tax year. After you enter your medical expenses, TurboTax will prompt you to choose your 12-month claim period.

    For example, the oldest medical expense that you can claim on your 2022 return is an expense from January 2, 2022, using a claim period of January 2, 2022, to January 1, 2023.

     

    You can adjust previous tax returns within the last 10 calendar years to claim any missed medical expenses.

    Please read this Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) webpage to learn more about this process: How to change a return.

     

    Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
