Med1 instead of Med2?

I have a med 2 form which my dentist completed for me.
The form says it is a "receipt" and i should retain, making my claim through the Anytime service OR submitting a med1 to my local tax office.

I cannot complete the claim online as it will not allow me because i have a rental income...so it says when i try!

So, do i need to complete a Med1 and post in?
Then i just keep the med 2 as a receipt for my tax records.

Next post shows the way for a paer submission of Med 1

The following text from the help for the online Form 11, which uses the heading Other Medical expenses on the input screen

You may claim tax relief for certain medical expenses incurred by you whether for yourself, your spouse, your civil partner, dependent child or a dependent relative in respect of whom you are entitled to a Dependent Relative tax allowance.
Most Medical expenses, with the exception of routine dental, and ophthalmic treatments, qualify for relief.
On completion of this section, your obligation to complete Med 1 has been satisfied.
Please ensure that you only claim for amounts for which you hold receipts.
Relief is normally claimed for expenses paid in period 1st January - 31 December, you may however elect to claim in respect of expenses incurred in this period, even though they may be paid later.
If you so elect, all amounts claimed for in this period must relate to expenditure incurred in the period.
You cannot claim relief for any expenditure that has been or will be reimbursed, for example by the VHI, Regional Health Board etc or where a compensation payment is made or will be made.
In the case of a dependant relative who is maintained full time in a nursing home or hospital 60% of the dependant relatives Old Age Pension or similar income should be deducted from the total health expenses incurred.
Other income of the dependant should be deducted in full in arriving at the amount on which relief is allowed.
While you do not need to send in the receipts to the tax office, you must retain these receipts as you may be asked to submit them if your claim is chosen for detailed examination.
Where the claim is for dental treatment, a form MED 2 (available from your dentist, by whom it should be completed) must be retained.
A list of qualifying Dental expenses is available from revenue web site @www.revenue.ie:
Relief for health expenses in given at the marginal rate of tax for nursing home expenses and at the standard rate (currently 20%) for all other expenses.

As far as I remember, there is a line on the Med1 form where you include details of what the dentist filled in on your Med2. You submit the Med 1 only, and keep the Med2 and receipts yourself.

Presumably if you have rental income, then you will be doing a tax return anyway, so you include the Med 1 details on that and submit the forms together.

i've already filed my Form12 for my rental income.
Don't see any option on PAYE anytime to input for medical expenses. It won't allow me.
Will complete a Med 1 and post it in.

Are your medical expenses for 2013? if so, then you should have included them in your form 12 for 2013. I presume Revenue will be able to process the Med 1 form separately, but you may have already received your P21 balancing statement? Mine took just over a week to arrive after I submitted my Form 12. I'd give Revenue a buzz to clarify. If the medical expenses are for 2014, then include them with next year's tax return.
