I cannot enter the children's arts tax credit for my child. I have entered it for my other two children but for my oldest, the boxes are locked. I cannot type in them?

I click on the the edit credits on the dependents screen. I can enter a fitness credit for her and I can enter the arts credit for my other 2 children but for some reason, the boxes are locked at 0.00 and will not allow me to click and enter an arts credit for my oldest.

Hi @rolbud,

 

For the Manitoba and Yukon Children's Arts Tax Credits, the child must have been under 16 years of age (or under 18 years of age if eligible for the disability tax credit) at the beginning of the year the eligible arts expense was paid.   

 

If your oldest child turned 16 in the tax year, they would no longer be eligible for this particular credit.
