You're kidding me!! I've spent how much???!!!

:o :o :o

I just got online to check my Medicare Tax Statement.

Last financial year (as in the one that finished two days ago), I spent over...wait for it...$28,000 in medical expenses :o :o :o

I knew it was a lot but $28,000......AND that doesn't count all of the things that aren't claimable (egg retrieval and transfer, medicine, etc, the hysteroscopy and the MRI I had to have) which would add ANOTHER $5000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So that's a total of over $33,000 spent in 12 months.

I am in shock.

Woah! I hope you can pick yourself up off the floor soon. I'd be in shock too.

Far out!!!!

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzz.

i know :rolleyes:

I'm in the same boat - for the second year - ouch!

Sadly Kass, barring some sort of miracle, this financial year will be the same for me too.... :(

(Hope you're well by the way and that bubs is growing nice and big!! :) )

I'm going well thanks :)
Hope you get your miracle next time around :crossfingers::goodluck:

Hahaha! Thanks! So does my bank manager ;)

fark :hug: did you need a stiff one after that? that's a reasonable rebate at 20c in the dollar...

Nah....that's the beauty of IVF...No stiff one required ;)

I've just fainted :o

My gosh N2L. That is incredible. :hug:

wow and i thought my $400 odd for this week was bad enough
:lol: at the stiff one!

Woah!

Actually anything over $2000 medical expenses directly offsets your tax payable - so unless you've paid more than $35000 tax this year, I am guessing you'll get it all back!

WOW! !

I thought you got back 20cents for every dollar over $1500 for out of pocket costs. Is this wrong??? I like your calculations much better!

wasn't my experience last year unfortunately - it was 20c after the first $1500 (which is 0) so $30,000 expenses = $5700 claim.
