using part of the disability tax credit without using override

a very hard question that turbotax help cannot answer

my daughter is eligible for dtc and has an approved form with government

my daughter earned 15000 dollars

she needs to use part of her dtc to bring her tax down to zero and I will claim the rest.

I don't know how to make the computer allow her to enter a partial claim on line 316

if she is defined as disabled she get the whole claim

if she is not she gets nothing

I have put her in as my dependent but it does not help

The only thing that works is an over ride but that means I cannot netfile

You will have to file a paper return. You cannot split the DTC and netfile the return.

This is how CRA says to file your tax return if you choose to split this credit;

You can split the unused part of this amount with another supporting person. If that is the case, attach a note to your paper return including the name and social insurance number of the other person who is claiming this amount. The total claimed for that dependant cannot be more than the maximum amount allowed for that dependant.
