Line 30425 - Canada caregiver amount for spouse or common-law partnerIf your spouse or common-law partner has a physical or mental impairment, you may be eligible to claim a maximum of $6,883 if their net income is between $6,902 and $23,046. NOTE these amounts are indexed each year.
Schedule 5 will be produced by the program in your file and will show the amounts eligible for lines 30300 and 30400 of the federal return.
To claim this amount, you must indicate that your spouse has a disability.
To do so, follow this procedure:
1. On your spouse's file, on the "Left-side menu of the Interview tab" select the heading "Medical, disability, caregiver".
2. On the page that appears on the right side, click on the plus sign "+" icon located to the right of the line "Infirmity and Disability amounts claim for yourself (line 31600)".
3. On the page entitled "Infirmity and disability", go to line "Does your disability provide entitlement to the Canada caregiver amount?" In the menu on the right, select the answer that suits you.
Note: It is not necessary to have an infirmity, only a disability is required, and it must be confirmed by a doctor. Please keep this document as the CRA may ask you for this document.
