Print this pageForward this document  Transfer of unused tax credits from deceased spouse

My client's spouse is deceased. How do I tell DT Max whether I want to claim the single-parent family amount or the deceased spouse's unused tax credits (line 440 of the Quebec return) for my client?

For the time being, you have to create plans to check which scenario is the most advantageous for your client.

If the transfer of unused tax credits is more beneficial, then in the surviving spouse's file, select No in the keyword SingleParent within the StatusChange keyword group.

If the single-parent family amount is more advantageous, then in the surviving spouse's file, use the keyword Override to enter "0" on line 440 of the Quebec return.
