Can I file my 22year old son, who receive PWD due to mental helth issue, as my dependant?

The answer is yes. You are still able to claim your son as an eligible dependant due to his mental health issue.

• The additional amount for an eligible dependant 18 years of age or older is available under Canada Caregiver Credit.
• Note: If you are required to pay child support or have shared custody of the child, additional rules may apply.

• Another credit may apply for your son on TurboTax articles:
