Greetings all, Advise if you can. I am filling out the 21-8416, Medical Expense Report, and need to ask a question.. My wife and I have literally hundreds of receipts, live in a foreign country with a different currency that literally fluctuates on a daily basis. To fill out that form for every purchase would result in hundreds of pages. What to do to ease this load? Josh All ideas are appreciated.
