Canada Caregiver Amount - Dependent > 18 want spouse to claim

[Rodney Steeves]

I have an issue, (I believe).  I want to claim the Canada Caregiver Amount from my Dependent Son.  Ufile is forcing, (Family Head) to claim on line 30450, but my income has no benefit, (I have the lower income); but my wife would have a benefit.  I cannot get the system to claim the amount under her, (Spouse of head).

I don't see anywhere that It must be the lower income claim.

My Schedule 5 Line 30450 has his information but my wife's Schedule 5 does not.

Is there a setting I'm missing?

Thanks for any help and assistance.

Hello Rodney Steeves,

Please go to the Dependant's section - under infirmity / disability

Dependant's unused disability amount
Who should claim this dependant's unused disability amount? Spouse <---SELECT SPOUSE

I have that and it doesn't.  I just quickly rekeyed 80% of our info with my Wife being the primary and me as the Spouse and let "Let MaxBack Decide" and everything was claimed under my wife.

 

So for a Dependent over 18 and you claim the Caregiver amount it is defaulting to the Family Head.

 

I included screenshots of what I am seeing.

Is there a way to Switch Family Head and Spouse or anything I can do?

 

LINE 30450 is the Line I need under the Spouse.
