Line 45200 – Refundable medical expense supplement
Note: Line 45200 was line 452 before tax year 2019.
You may be able to claim this supplement if all of the following apply:
- You entered an amount on line 21500 or line 33200 of your return
- You were a resident in Canada throughout 2022
- You were 18 years of age or older at the end of 2022
- Your adjusted family net income is less than $55,449
In addition, the total of the following two amounts is $3,841 or more:
- your employment income from line 10100 and line 10400 of your return (other than amounts received from a wage-loss replacement plan) minus the amounts from lines 20700, 21200, 22900, and 23100 of your return (if the result is negative, consider it as "0")
- your net self-employment income (not including losses) from lines 13500, 13700, 13900, 14100, and 14300 of your return
Note
If you reported income from more than one business on one specific self-employment line (13500, 13700, 13900, 14100, or 14300) and you are reporting a profit from one business and a loss from another, use only the profit amounts to determine if you meet the income requirement (noted above) to be eligible for this credit. If you are reporting a loss from only one business on one of these lines, do not include that loss.
