For more information, visit CRA: Canada Caregiver Credit page. You may be eligible to claim this credit if you’re caring for a family member who is dependant on you because of physical or mental impairment. An individual is considered to depend on you for support if they rely on you to regularly and consistently provide them with some or all of the basic necessities of life (such as food, shelter, and clothing). The CRA may require a signed statement indicating the nature of the infirmity (mental or physical condition), when it began, and how long it’s expected to last, from your dependant’s healthcare practitioner. If the CRA already has an approved form T2201, or Disability Tax Certificate on file for your dependant, you won’t be required to provide a statement.

It's designed to support individuals who need to spend personal funds to perform their jobs (for example, for home computers, uniforms, or supplies). With the exclusion of the self-employed, anyone who reports employment income can claim the CEA. Based on your T4 entries and other employment income, TurboTax automatically enters the Canada Employment Amount on your return if you qualify. The amount appears on line 31260 of your Schedule 1, and for tax year 2020 is the lesser of: $1,245, or The total employment income you reported on lines 10100 and 10400 of your return Mon, 18 Jul 2022 21:08:32 GMT https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/community/federal-taxes/help/what-is-the-canada-employment-amount-and-who-can-claim-it/01/873590#M2 TurboTax Support 2022-07-18T21:08:32Z https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/community/federal-taxes/help/how-do-i-contact-the-canada-revenue-agency-cra/01/873448#M4 If you need to contact the CRA regarding your taxes, there are a variety of ways to do so.
