Claiming child care when claiming the disability tax credit
I'm claiming child care for my children under the disability tax credit for the first time.
I've already entered their child care expenses under "Child Care Expenses". BUT, there is also a spot under "Additional Dependant Information" for child care expenses when YES is turned on for claiming the disability tax credit (looks like this - Child care and attendant care expenses claimed for NAME by anyone)
My question is: Do I claim my child care expenses in both places?
It seems that I should, because I get this warning if I don't enter the child care expense in the Additional Dependant Information DTC area:
You have a dependant under 18 that qualifies for the disability tax credit. To correctly calculate the disability supplement amount available for transfer, please indicate the amount of child care and attendant care expenses claimed by you or anyone else for this dependant.
