Can my daughter and I claim the Canada Caregiver amount for her son if she has no income?

Can my daughter and I claim the Canada Caregiver amount for her son if she has no income?

Thank you for choosing TurboTax. Yes, but only the Canada Caregiver Credits for other infirmed dependants age 18 or older on line 30450. If more than one person cares for the infirm dependant, the credit can be shared as long as the total amounts claimed on all tax returns do not exceed the year’s limit.

 

Split the CCC amount on line 30500 for children under 18?

 

  • No, the parent whose turn is to claim the Eligible Dependant Amount on line 30400 is the one who claims the CCC on line 30500.
  • If you have two children with infirmity, each parent can claim one child.
