Troubleshooting

I'm trying to claim the caregiver credit.

This is what Turbotax says:

"TurboTax automatically claims the Canada caregiver credit for your spouse/partner when you indicate that they were dependant on you because of an impairment in mental or physical functions in the Introduction/Setting Up section of your return."

 

I answered the questions in 

What happened for you (my spouse) in 2023?

 

"did you have a mental or physical impairment?"

Canada Caregiver Amount: I am dependent on (my name) because of an impairment

I had/have a disability"

 

Turbotax also says:

"You have an amount on line 30425 if you're eligible for the Canada caregiver amount for your spouse/partner or an eligible dependant 18 years old or older."

 

I saw an amount for the caregiver credit for me on line 30425 and my spouse's disability amount on line 31600 in the detailed tax summary. I looked later and now the caregiver credit amount is zero.
