Canada Caregiver Amount

[Rjay]

Has anyone been able to get the Canada Caregiver Amount to show up in 2020 version of Ufile? 

Entered same information as 2019 but Caregiver Amount does not show up in calculations!

 

Thanks.

Hi Rjay. Has the dependant's net income changed for year 2020. The caregiver amount can be reduced based on the dependant's net income. Just a possible situation to look at. Here is an excerpt from a CRA guide.

If you are eligible for the Canada caregiver amount for your spouse or common-law partner (see line 30300), or an eligible dependant 18 years of age or older (see line 30400), and their net income is between $7,295 and $24,361, you may be able to claim an amount up to a maximum of $7,276 on line 30425 of your return.Jan. 18, 2021
