Can I let my dad claim my DTC tax credit and how should I answer to question about if this is a first time claim because I don't want to claim it for myself??

I have a permanent disability and I qualify for the DTC but rather my dad claim the tax credit. How should I answer the question abut this being the first year to claim when I don't want to claim it myself??

Yes, you might be able to transfer your disability tax credit to your dad, even if it’s your first year claiming the credit. However, to do so you must be dependent on him for some or all of the necessities of life (such as food, shelter, clothing) and a resident in Canada for at least part of the year.
