How do I claim the expenses of an employee-nanny and what expenses can I claim?

[Delphision]

I think the T778 is going to be required.  While working or attending school is required for the child care deduction,  child care is not included as a business expense as there are specific rules about who can claim based on income.  Depending on the income levels, marital status, etc. the claim may have to be reported on another person's return.

Can I claim the WSIB premiums we paid?

I have the same question. It looks like Turbotax is asking to enter the amount per child. I am in the same situation. I hired one nanny to take care of my 3 children. Do I divide the total salary by 3 and assign that amount to each child?

Yes, you can divide it for each child or put it all under one. If the CRA has any questions they will request the receipt from you.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
