Credits and deductions

@ghausia As my colleague Susan asked previously, are you claiming it for a Dependent or a spouse? The steps she gave you, are if you are claiming DTC and caregiver for a dependent. 

 

If the spouse is the one with a handicap or limitations, it's true, you should not have their info under Dependent, but you can easily apply all this in your TurboTax Desktop, when you are doing a joint return. Here are the steps for each spouse (the one who claim - NO handicap and the one WITH a handicap):

 

 

In Forms mode - for the person who claim the credit (NO handicap):

Click on Forms tab (at the bottom of the screen) // select INFOWS // page 1 - under Tax payer Information, select YES to the related questions.

 

 

After INFOWS, click on Forms tab (at the bottom of the screen) // select DTC form // at the top of this form, make sure ALL questions are NO.

 

In Forms mode - for the person WITH a handicap:

Click on Forms tab (at the bottom of the screen) // select INFOWS // page 1 - under Tax payer Information, select NO to the related questions.

 

After INFOWS, click on Forms tab (at the bottom of the screen) // select DTC form // at the top of this form, make sure ALL questions are YES, EXCEPT the one asking if T2201 expired with CRA (should be NO)

 

After these steps are done, you can confirm DTC was transferred from the handicap spouse to the claimer on line 32600.

 

Caregiver amount will be on line 30425 of the claimer T1.

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
