Disability Tax Credit
Does anyone have any positive experience with the tax companies that file the DTC info for you? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

NO I hand`t done the questionnaire. I just read through out. I just got the impression I was way out of the realm of reality reading that.dutchca wrote: ↑You can transfer your wifes non-refundable tax credits, she doesn't need to be disabled to do that.
The caregiver amount would be in addition to the "regular" tranfer of her non-refundable credits. The disibility tax credit would be in addition to both of those amounts.
Did you do the questionnaire on the caregiver amount on the CRA website?
Severe and prolonged is the key verbiage in claiming the DTC. It is worth a fir bit if the person in indeed eligible to claim it.

Don't worry about the years, there's a question on the form that asks the doctor when it started. If she qualifies, CRA will send a letter saying how long the certificate is valid for (and they can make it retroactive for up to 10 years), then you can go back and make adjustments to past tax filings as necessary. But this tax credit is meant for people that lose eyesight or limbs, or require someone to help them with everyday tasks such as bathing, getting dressed, eating, walking, etc.

I always thought there was some advantage tax wise to having your spouse as a dependent. I don`t see any deduction here for having a spouse at home who earns no income.

Not sure where I would indicate I am transferring non-refundable tax credits. She has no tax credits other than her base amount which is 8800 or so.. Can I claim that on my return?

Cancel the above, I think I found it.. ON Schedule 2

Ah crap.. It doesn`t look like I am gettin anything out of that.... Maybe I am mistaken. I always thought spouses with a spouse at home got 8K or so knocked off their taxable income.. but that may just be in my head. lol
