I just spent 1 hour 40 minutes on the phone with the TurboTax support team including escalation a couple of levels up from the original agent. Bottom line was that, as far as they could tell, it is OK to have DTC on my father's return line 31600 and on my return on line 31800. They believe that CRA will assess and see that it was not needed on my Dad's return. But they also suggested that I call CRA support to be sure. It seems odd that there is a line 31800 showing "amount transferred from dependent" where I can put the DTC amount from my Dad, but there is not an equivalent "amount transferred TO supporting person" on the dependent's return which would then net out the DTC amounts. Is this something TurboTax could maybe add?
