My partner and I are both freelancers.
In mid 2008 my partner got ill and we incurred just over 1000 Euro in medical expenses before he was granted a medical card (due to getting a few € SWA after he got ill). He earned very little that year and was not liable to pay income tax, only minimum PRSI. Therefore I thought at the time that he could not claim relief for health expenses (zero minus 200 is still zero).
Thanks to AAM I recently learned that I can claim for him and that I can do so retrospectively for 2008. 200€ to have or not to have ...
Filling out the form I'm stuck on the section
Question:
What do I fill in in that section? I know that I can make a claim as a self-employed - Form11 caters for that, but has long since been submitted. Or do I have to fill out an amended Form11 for 2008?
Any hints/experiences gratefully received.
