where in turbo tax can i get the ccb

Apply for the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) via birth registration, through your CRA My Account, or by mailing form RC66. While you cannot directly submit the initial CCB application within TurboTax, filing your return with TurboTax is necessary for the CRA to calculate your benefit.

The CRA offers a non-taxable Canada Child Benefit (CCB) for each eligible family that helps cover the cost of raising children under the age of 18. Families of children with disabilities will receive an additional amount under the Child Disability Benefit (CDB). The benefit is paid when you register your child after birth and will stop automatically when they turn 18.

You have to file your income tax return with your spouse/common-law partner to be able to receive the CCB every year. For a single parent, the parent with custody is the one who receives the benefit. For shared custody, the benefit is either split in half or according to the custody agreement.

Family Tax Deductions: What Can I Claim?

• TurboTax cannot submit the primary application, but it will ask for your children's information (name, birthdate) to calculate potential credits
• Ensure your spouse/common-law partner is included in your tax return, as the CRA requires both returns to calculate the CCB.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
