Hi all
My wife (mostly) received some medical treatment in late 2024 (and early 2025). I paid the bills and claimed the deduction on my taxes (I have employment income, she's a housewife). She applied for a subsidy from Tokyo-to in early 2025, which looks like it will be paid out soon.
- How do I report this for income tax? Deduct the subsidy from this year's medical expenses? File an amended tax return for 2024? Treat it as miscellaneous income for her? Something else?
- I've transferred an amount just under the gift tax limit to her this year. Given that I paid the original bills and she received the subsidy, do we need to worry about a gift tax implication?
