Why doesn't your Question about Canada Care Giver Amount refer to other relatives beyond Spouse or Common Law Partner. It now covers a wide range of relatives.

If you override the work sheets you can complete the Return but you can't use Net File.  After talking with CRA and fudging the question/answer we were able to open the appropriate schedules and complete the forms that hopefully it will now be accepted for Net File. This short coming is worth over $500 to my wife who looks after her disabled sister.  We nearly went to HR Block to see if they file on line.
