canada caregiver amount

I am claiming both my parents as infirm dependents, but on Schedule 5, only one is listed on page5 on "information about your dependents" , but on line 30450 the amount is calculated for both of them.

How can I list both of them on S5?

Thank you,

Please double-check the top of the second page of the Canada Caregiver section to see if your second parent is there. It's easy to miss that part.

If you are still not able to resolve this issue, please contact our phone support team at 1-888-829-8608.

When you start a new return, TurboTax will ask Do you have children or financially support another person? in the Intro section of your return.

Info about your dependants (like their birth date, their relationship to you, and their income) is used to determine your eligibility for certain credits and deductions, so be sure to enter this info accurately.

To jump back to this step in your TurboTax return:

Select Find from the menu
In the Find window, enter dependants and select Go
Answer Yes to the question Do you have children or financially support another person?
Complete the Tell us about your dependant(s) section
Select Continue

Important: You can't claim your spouse or common-law partner as a dependant, even if they have no income.
