Hi @normaterrick 

 

Its possible that, if one of you do not need the full disability amount to reduce the income tax, the software will transfer the remaining amount to the other person. Alternatively, if you and another person support the same dependant, you can split the claim for that dependant. You can find more information about splitting here: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/segments/tax-credits-deductions-persons-disabilities/disability-tax-credit/claiming-dtc.html#h-1
