Troubleshooting

@user17766462912 Yes, you are correct, as they are living together, and the amount will automatically go to the spouse until or unless you choose to say 'NO' to a certain question in TurboTax. 

  1. Your father must not claim the caregiver amount on line 30425 on his return. You may need to remove the "infirmity/disability" checkbox in the spouse's medical section on your father's profile or explicitly select that a caregiver amount is not being claimed by the spouse.
  2. In your return, add your mother as a dependant. Select "Yes" to "Did this dependant have an infirmity or disability?" and "Yes" to "Can you claim the Canada caregiver amount for this dependant?".

 

 

 

How do I claim the Canada caregiver credit?
