Credits and deductions
Hi Susan, I'm having a dispute with CRA about claiming my son for the Amount for an Eligible Dependent on my 2024 taxes. He turned 18 in February of 2024, and the CRA agent I spoke with after I received a review letter for the claim is saying I can not make any claim for the year even though he was 17 for part of the year. Can you tell me which reference materials I can refer to in my argument with them? Turbo Tax automatically calculated the claim for me based on me entering his age in the dependents area. I'm hoping to also support my arguments with legislation or specific mention of the rules related to eligibility in the year a dependent turns 18.
