My client has a dependant with fees for a residential and long-term care centre and this dependant is also eligible for the disability amount. Can I claim the fees
for a residential and long-term care centre (F331) (allowable amount of medical expenses for other dependants) and also claim the disability amount transferred from
a dependant (F318)?
No, you are usually able to claim only one of the two credits for which the dependant is able to transfer. In order to do so, in the file of the
dependant, select option "Do not use disability Tax Credit" under the Disability keyword.
Conversely, if you want to transfer the disability tax credit, do not enter the fees for a residential and long-term care centre under the Med-Specific keyword in the
dependant's file.
