Field code 5110 relates to the claim for "Eligible Dependent" at line number 305 on Schedule 1.

Do you have an eligible dependent to claim the Family Caregiver Amount described as follows:
If you have a dependant with an impairment in physical or mental functions, you may be eligible to claim an amount on line 367 or an additional $2,121 for one or more of the following amounts (Schedule 1, Federal Tax):
•spouse or common-law partner amount (line 303);
•amount for an eligible dependant (line 305); and
•caregiver amount (line 315).
I am wondering if the figure appearing in 2015 was simply a default number displayed in the calculation but not on the appropriate line of the tax return and Schedule 1.
