I should note that the initial TurboTax link provided about the EPTC contains incorrect information. It says:
"You're disqualified if:
- You were 65 years of age or older at the end of the year.
- Your family income was more than $40,000."
I contacted the city's taxation and assessment department to ask if there is a $40,000 household income limit for the EPTC as mentioned on your website, since I did not see that in any government documentation.
I just heard back and was informed, "If you have not received the EPTC on previous years’ property tax bills, you will need to claim the tax credit on your income tax return. Contact Canada Revenue for questions on how to claim. The credit is not based on income but rather the amount of school taxes."
That being said, when I enter my property tax info in TurboTax, it doesn't give me the credit even if I edit household income to be below 40k. I'm not sure if there are programming errors at play.
