My Father in-law died 2024.
TurboTax is claiming the $4000 senior assistance tax credit (Quebec) for Him and I assume my Mother in-law. His marital status remains married.
TurboTax is claiming $2000 senior assistance tax credit (Quebec) for my Mother in-law.
Her marital status is widowed.
TurboTax said the taxes had to be completed separately.
Both over seventy.
How to correct this?
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your father-in-law.
Are you using TurboTax Desktop or TurboTax Online?
You can choose to say that the spouse will claim $2000 and it works; Here are the screenshots:
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
Yes that worked thank you. It has to be done in the form method. I do not think it is the best way as it should be an option in the easy step method.
I had posted about this tax credit as well. I saw it pop up for my parents but am nervous about claiming it as it is a large amount
But aside from both being citizens, they are both born here. Is the only other requirement they are both over 70?
I would just like to be sure before I file.
thanks so much
