We have a DTC on file for our kid. When i tick the box apply for dtc for our dependant, it seems the line 31800 is left blank on both our returns mom and dad. why?

it says we have to claim it every year. so why did the program leave it blank?

1. At the Claim Dependant Credits screen, check the box for Disability amount transfer.
2. At the Disability Transfer screen, select Yes.
3. At the Tax home screen, if you select View detailed summary, you’ll see the transferred amount at Line 31800, Disability amount transferred from a dependant.
4. Make sure that you are following all the correct steps as stated in this TurboTax article.

How do I claim the Disability Tax Credit transferred from my dependant?

Thank you for that info.  it was not very explanatory while doing the return.  we endered our dependant, said yes to the DTC but did nto see anywhere to do the rest of teh steps.  A more guided approach would have been  beneficial.  

I guess we need to refile now.
