The disabled taxpayer is pursuing full-time studies, is earning a working income and has no eligible dependant children. DT Max is calculating the work premium tax credit on line 453 of the federal return. Is my client really eligible for that credit?

No, following discussions with the CRA, it has been understood that this credit should not be granted.

Please proceed as follows in order not to claim this credit:

• Use the keyword group Optimize by choosing the option "T1 - Working income tax benefit", then select the option "Do not claim" using the keyword Control.op .
• Use the keyword Override and enter $0.00 on line 453 of the federal return.
