Question
Disability insurance premiums as a medical expense?
I have my group benefits through my employer from a private company (manulife). Some of my premiums, like health and dental, are shared between my employer and myself. But the long term and short term disability premiums are 100% paid by myself and deducted off of my pay. When filing my taxes, can I claim all of the health, dental, std, Ltd premiums that I have paid myself under "Employee-paid premiums for private health service plans"? For whatever reason my employer has not put these premiums on box 85 on my t4 which should report my contributions.
