Sharing childcare expenses - Quebec residentFor Quebec residents, the program will grant the credit by default, to the person with the highest income. However, you can change the allocation of childcare expenses in Quebec.
To do so, in the file of the person who wishes to claim Schedule C, please follow the steps below:
1. On the "Left side menu on the Interview tab", select "Quebec tax credits".
2. On the right-hand side of the screen, choose "Sharing tax credits between spouses on Quebec Schedules B, C, J and P".
3. On the page entitled "Sharing of the Quebec credit between spouses", select the line "Québec - Schedule C - Child care" and in the drop-down menu to your right, indicate your choice.
4. If you choose "Claim All", the total amount of the Schedule C credit will be given to the person requesting it.
5. However, if you choose "Claim portion", on the line that follows, it will indicate "If you selected Claim portion, enter the amount you are claiming", in this field we need to enter the amount the taxpayer wishes to claim. The unclaimed portion will be automatically entered in the spouse`s return.
The program will carry over the amount to line 455 of the Quebec return and generate Quebec Schedule C in the designated person's file.
