This is a follow up to my posting from last week regarding Revenue Canada’s request for additional information on the medical expenses I claimed on my tax return. First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who were kind enough to take time out of their busy schedules to reply to my request for feedback. Thanks!

I contacted the Autism Fund Processing Unit from Ministry of Children and Family Development and told them of my dilemma. The supervisor there, very promptly and courteously explained that they had dealt with confirmation requests from Revenue Canada before. The Ministry provides families with a letter that typically satisfies Revenue Canada’s requirements. So I just sent off the Ministry’s confirmation letter to Revenue Canada and let’s see what happens. Hopefully, they will be satisfied.

Hello All,

I could sure use some help and guidance from other parents who may have gone through a similar experience with Revenue Canada that I am currently going through.

In a nutshell, Revenue Canada first asked me to provide proof of medical expenses that I claimed in my tax return last year. This I provided – no problem. Now they are asking that I provide confirmation from the BC Ministry of Children and Family Development that these medical expenses were not paid for by the Autism Funding Age 6 program – and to do so within 30 days.

I've got copies of my monthly Schedule B submissions which show that the medical expenses that I am claiming are above and beyond the funding provided but I suspect that Revenue Canada wants something in writing from the Ministry that states this explicitly.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can procure the necessary "confirmation" from the Ministry? I've put in a call and left a message to the Autism Funds Processing Unit (1-877-777-3530) but is there someone else I should be speaking with? If anyone can help, I would sincerely appreciate it. Thanks.

My email address is: c d r a n u @ y a h o o .com

Sincerely,
Singh Family
