Ontario additional amount regarding the cost of attendant care

Program(s) affected: T1 Document created: 04 11, 2008 Tax year(s): 2007 Document last modified: Version(s): 11.01, 11.10, 11.11, 11.12, 11.20 Problem status: Pending

I have a situation where my client is claiming medical expenses transfered from a dependant with respect to the cost of attendant care. It looks like the additional amount for Ontario (higher limit) is not reflected properly in the amount carried to line 5868 of Form ON428. Can you help?

1) The dependant uses the disability deduction (for self or transfer)
2) Medical expenses with respect to "Cost of attendant care" are transfered from a dependant
3) The amount of the expense exceeds the federal maximum; thus, the additional amount for Ontario to account for the higher provincial limit is calculated
4) The dependant has two parents in the family unit (i.e. not a single-parent family unit)

As a workaround, use keyword Override, option "ON 428 line 5868" in the parent's file and enter the correct amount.*

* Refer to the federal medical expenses in-house form to calculate this amount.
