Line 462 - Error in Turbotax Schedule H Tax Credit for Caregivers for dependant who died during the year - 182 day rule does not apply in year of death

[Tania2021]

Hi

As per the Revenu Quebec guide regarding line 462, the credit can be claimed for a care recipient  who died during the year and was not living with the caregiver for 182 days in the taxation year as long as the care recipient  lived with the caregiver for a period of at least 365 days up to the date of death.

However your schedule H does not consider this exception and does not even request info on any deceased care recipients  in order to consider this exception to the rule therefore disallowing any caregiver tax credit for care recipients who died before the 182nd day of that taxation year.

Can you please explain if this can be corrected - are there any questions regarding the death of a dependent that could modify the calculations in schedule H? Has this bug been corrected as of April 17…. 

Thanks
