Recommended Posts

trying to claim the Canada caregiver amount for supporting my handicap 36 years old daughter with no income, we live in Quebec. There are two ways of claiming this amount

in line 30400

 OR  line 30450

I  would like to do two  tests to see which one will give me a bigger refund , kindly tell me the easiest way to do it thanks          

EDIT: I manage to claim line 30400 but not line 30450. i followed the interview process , but there does not seem to be an option to do the second line

Hello thanks

The easiest way is to try the first option, save to a PDF file, then try the second option and verify the difference (or if there is no difference).

FYI   :

Line 30400 - Formerly referred to as the Equivalent-to-Spouse amount, the Amount for an Eligible Dependant Credit is a Non-Refundable Tax Credit designed for single adults who are not claiming the spouse/common-law partner credit and who are responsible for the financial care of a relative

Line 30450 - Canada Caregiver Amount Other Infirm Dependants Age 18 or Older

You can claim an amount up to $7,525 for each of your (or your spouse’s or common-law partner’s) dependents if that person was dependent on you because of an impairment in physical or mental functions and they were 18 years of age or older.

You can also claim an amount for more than one dependant if each one meets all the following conditions:

    They were dependent on you because of an impairment in physical or mental functions
    They were 18 years of age or older
    They were your (or your spouse’s or common-law partner’s) child, grandchild, parent, grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew
    They were a resident of Canada at any time in the year. You cannot claim this amount for a person who was only visiting you
    Their net income from line 23600 of their return (or the amount it would be if they filed a return) was less than $25,195
