(v.) Basic ROS Q. on Medical expenses

Hi all,
I recently joined ROS system online (as I was told I could possibly receive money back from Revenue for Medical expenses).
I have logged on, and clicked the year I wish i.e. 2008. Under Health Expenses, I see a box next to 'Other Medical Expenses'.
I just want to ensure I put in the correct figure so what do I put in here?
Is it a total of all the bills I have?
(I assume it is, but I just don't have a clue, I assume I don't have to make any type of calculation myself..)

To help make this clear:
For 2008, I have 3 bills 150; 120 and 118 (Total = 388).
Is it correct to put 388 in this 'Other Medical Expenses'?
(I see then that this Total figure 388 then goes to the bottom under a heading Gross Relief Due)

By the way, how much can one expect to receive on this?

Hi,
I am not sure why the box is "other Medical Expenses", and as I have already claimed this, and I cant see the form that you are filling out.

In general, you enter the total amount of bills (388 in your case).

You should receive approx €77 tax credit (20% of the bills).

Thanks huskerdu

I clicked on 'Claime Health Expenses Tax Credit for 2008' and the form has from top:
non-routine dental expenses
(Please note: you are required to fill in and retain a Med 2 form)
Approved nursing home fees
Other medical expenses
Medical expenses refunded.

When I click 'Help' next to 'Other medical expneses' it says "e.g. Consultant's fees, Doctors fees, Prescription drugs etc." -> so that is where I am filling it out.

Am I filling out the correct thing?

By the way, I assume I don't need to fill out any other form or send anything further through?

Hi,

Yes, you are doing it correctly. You have no need to fill in any other forms.
You need to keep the receipts in case you are audited, but it is unlikely.

Here is a key post with a lot of relevant information

Thanks again huskerdu
Apologies for the v basic question.
To me it all looks complicated. Hopefully once I do it once, I'll be au fait with it all...

Thanks again
