In TurboTax, the non-refundable federal and provincial age amount credits are automatically calculated and added to your return as long as you meet the eligibility criteria.
When completing a coupled return in TurboTax, any unused portion that isn’t needed to reduce your tax owing is automatically transferred to your spouse or common-law partner. Your spouse/partner doesn’t need to meet any age or income criteria to receive this transfer.
To view the federal age amount for you and your spouse/partner, follow the steps below.
