I would like to confirm my understanding:
If during 2023, one spouse passes away before December 31, 2023, on the surviving spouse's schedule ON479, the deceased spouse's income does not flow through and is therefore not required in the calculation of the family income. Only the surviving spouse's income is considered in the calculation of the reduction of the Ontario Seniors care at home tax credit. Is this correct?
On the deceased spouse's schedule ON479, as you mention below, the surviving spouse's income does not flow through and is therefore not required in the calculation of the family income. Only the deceased spouse's income is considered in the calculation of the reduction of the Ontario Seniors care at home tax credit. Is this correct?
Therefore, can both spouse's (surviving and deceased) claim medical expenses each (different expenses, of course) on their respective schedule ON479 and therefore potentially each get the $1500 of Ontario Seniors care at home tax credit?
