Holy smokes. I read that wrong. Sorry for my error. Thank you for highlighting what I'd already read a few times over. SMH

Dependent minor child is up to 18 but when an adult has no spouse and financially supports a son/daughter or parent, they can claim the eligible dependent credit if the financially-dependent's income is less than the basic personal credit (a bit over $13k). If you have a spouse with little/no income (again, below basic personal exemption), you get the same credit. The eligible dependent simply gives the same treatment to unmarried people similarly supporting another adult financially. They used to call it "equivalent to spouse" credit. But it absolutely does apply to this situation. https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-return/completing-a-tax-return/deductions-credits-expenses/line-30400-amount-eligible-dependant/you-claim-amount-eligible-dependant.html Hey UFILE, why is your software not functioning properly for this credit?

I cannot get Ufile to claim eligible dependent credit. Family head has no spouse and lives with & supports two adult 'children'. Daughter is 19, has income of less than $10k. Tuition credits transfer to mom but Ufile is not claiming child as eligible dependent on Mom's return (which it did last year). I went to Controls in Daughter's file and selected her as eligible dependent. Still nothing. Help.
