Usually, credits are only useful when claimed from jurisdictions where the taxpayer has income or where he is a resident on December 31 of the taxation year.

Real estate and property tax credits are not included. If you wish to claim these credits, you must enter the relevant information with the primary keyword Residence which opens a group and provides the secondary keywords necessary for entering the data.

You can claim an amount of $1,400 regardless of the number of qualifying care recipients.

There is a 90-day waiting period. You begin calculating your claim after 90 days from the date caregiving started.

The credit came into effect January 1, 2009, for caregivers who had completed the three-month qualifying period.

Otherwise, a partial claim is allowed for caregiving during the portion of a tax year following the three-month qualifying period.
