How to I change who receives my child's Disability Tax Credit in turbo Tax? It automatically gives it to the person who has the highest income. Should be in my name

[Surajth]

We appreciate you choosing TurboTax,

It is always best to claim by the person with a higher income.  

Software optimizes automatically to reduce tax payable, thereby reducing taxes

As per our TurboTax article A Guide to the Disability Tax Credit Your eligibility to claim their DTC depends on whether you claimed a dependent amount for that person on line 30500, or could have claimed that amount if you did not have a spouse or common-law partner.

According to our TurboTax article Is the Disability Tax Credit transferable from a dependent? To transfer the DTC, the transferee’s name (yours) must appear on the dependent person’s DTC certificate. The certificate must have been completed and certified by a medical professional and approved by the CRA. The DTC application process is set out on the CRA website.
