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

by TurboTax• Updated 1 week ago

To transfer the Disability Tax Credit:

A DTC application for T2201 must first have been completed by:
- The DTC transferee (Part A section 2).
- The DTC eligible transferor (Part A section 4).
- A medical practitioner (Part B).
The form must have been approved by the CRA.

Before claiming any DTC amounts, make sure you've already entered a dependant into your return profile. Once this is complete, you can transfer the Disability Tax Credit:

Select Find, then enter disability amount transfer and select Go.
Select Enter Credit Info next to the dependant whose disability amount you want to transfer.
On the Claim Dependant Credits step, check Disability amount transfer, then select Continue.
Complete the Disability Transfer step and select Continue.

TurboTax will automatically calculate the amount your dependant can transfer based on the income and other info you entered, deducting this amount from your balance owing if applicable. You’ll find the calculated amount on your Dependant Credit Summary.
