SandyHotBox Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Just wanted to let anyone in Alberta, Canada know that the government will reimburse you about 1600 when you claim your surgery costs. Another great thing is claiming it on the following years income tax, should get tons of money back from that as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abaal Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you claim it? When you submit your taxes? I'm in Alberta, please share the details I am here in Tijuana right now. Had my surgery May 24 and am now down for my first fill. Have lost over 30 lbs since. Dr. Miranda says that by next June or before I will lose at least another 70 lbs. They say my progress is just great. I will be writing off all the costs of my surgery, travel, meals and fills on my income tax for 2010 before the end of April 2011. I live in BC, so the BC government will not reimburse, but it was still cheaper than going to Vancouver and paying $18,000. I am a professional bookkeeper/tax preparer in Canada so if anyone is not sure how to write this off in Canada, email me and I will help you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe09 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Thanks Tristessa.... Im in Calgary for another fill tomorrow, I always think of you when I go there. This time Im NOT hitting that coach store -LOL That's a big chunk of change I would have never known to claim. Thank you to everyone on this tread for mentioning this, Im a girl on a budget, this will help me out tremendously. I sent my forms in today, with the surgery report and receipt hopefully that's sufficient. But up to 12 WEEKS to process that baby....WOWZA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyHotBox Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I sent mine in on April 6th and just recieved my check Tuesday so it does take some time. First time ever I will say I can't wait to submit my income tax, bring me some money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
