Ontario Activity Credit & the Children's Art Amount

[john_ham]

Hi there,

My daughter took piano lessons in 2014 which I have a receipt for in the amount of $444.00.  Can I claim the same $444 in the Ontario Children's Activity Tax Credit and the Children's Art Amount?  Thank you!

Yes.  This same amount is claimed in both places; once in the Children's arts amount which is the federal amount, and again for the Ontario children's activity credit which is the provincial credit.

Turbo Tax 2015 is NOT calculating this correctly.

The arts amounts are not being considered for Ontario credits, even though they apply.
