If I have a child who does not live primarily with me but want to claim a day camp as child care for that child, how do I do that?

Unfortunately, as per the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) you may not be eligible to claim for this expense.

Child care expenses are amounts you or another person paid to have someone else look after an eligible child so you could earn income, go to school, or carry on research under a grant.

If eligible, you can claim certain child care expenses as a deduction on your personal income tax return.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
