T2201 - Disability tax credit certificate - Federal

The Canada Revenue Agency has modified the T2201. It now must two distinct parts.

Part A is for the disabled person or his or her legal representative and is divided into four (4) sections:

Section 1 - Information about the disabled person

Section 2 - Information about the person claiming the disability amount

Section 3 - Adjust your income tax and benefit return

Section 4 - Authorization

The person claiming the disability amount must complete section 2 while the disabled person must complete section 1 and sign section 4 to allow the medical practitioner to disclose to the CRA relevant medical information.

Note: The 2015 version of the form now includes section 3. By checking the appropriate box in this section, the person claiming the disability amount may now request the CRA to adjust his or her income tax returns for all applicable years in order to include the disability amount.

Part B must be completed by a qualified medical practitioner to certify the effects of the patient's impairment.

You are responsible for any fees charged by the medical practitioner to complete the T2201 form. However, you may claim them as medical expenses on line 33200 of Step 5 of your federal return.
