I have claimed the Primary caregivers tax credit but I am ineligible. I am ready to file but am not able to correct my mistake. What do I do?

Did you claim it for a spouse or a dependant? Are you using TurboTax Desktop or TurboTax Online?

In TurboTax Online, if you are preparing your returns together, click on your spouse's name at the top of the page. Then click on Tax Profile, then Your Tax Profile. Click Continue until you get to the "SPOUSE, let's see if there's anything else to add" page. There you can uncheck the option for "Canada Caregiver Amount - I'm dependant on NAME due to an impairment".

If you are preparing your return separately, click on 2024 tax Return at the top left of the page. Then click on Tax Profile, then Additional Information About Your Spouse. Click Continue until you get to the "Tell us more about SPOUSE" page. There you can uncheck the option for "Canada Caregiver Amount: Is Jojo dependent on you because of a mental or physical impairment?".
