The word dependant is defined as “A person who relies on another, especially a family member, for financial support”. The Canada Revenue Agency’s definition of dependant is similar but can vary for each credit. Let’s break it down by each credit. Please see our TurboTax article: Who Can I Claim as a Dependant on my Tax Return?
