For a dependent child of any age who is eligible for the disability tax credit, the annual childcare expense amount is $11,000.
For children who are not infirm and who are between the ages of 7 and 16, the amount is $5,000.
For children who are dependent and infirm who are 17 years of age and older, the amount is also $5,000 if the child does not qualify for the disability tax credit.
So, not qualifying for disability tax credit would result in not getting the $11,000 annual limit.
