Steve25 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Hi, My wife and I separated in 2022 and we have 1 child. For 2023 tax she is claiming the dependent amount (line 30400) but we splitting all the child care costs and we will include 50% on each of our tax forms. In order to do that I create a dependent and add the expenses, however, the software claims the dependent amount for me (30400) and I cannot remove it. How can I claim my portion of the child care expenses but not the eligible dependent amount? In 2022, when I indicated my marital status changed there was a checkbox asking me if I am claiming the dependent amount and I could select no. However my marital status changed in 2022 so that doesn't apply anymore. Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo123 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Hello Steve25, Go to the dependant's file >> Controls. Please see below >>Do you wish to claim this dependant as the qualified dependant for the climate action incentive of the parent's return? Do not claim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
