Ontario property and sales tax credits Reminder on natural caregivers claims
We had also taken the opportunity to review data entry requirements for claims of federal amounts at lines 306 and 315 (amount for infirm dependants age 18 or over and caregiver amount respectively). Federal data entry in DT Max has not changed. Please take a moment to review these particulars by referring back to the What's new section discussing caregiver credits. Note: If there are two eligible parents living with the claimant who happen
to form a couple, please remember that there are no spousal optimizations
performed between dependants in a DT Max family. In such cases, you will also
need to create a family for the couple of eligible relatives to produce their
tax returns. Change of the default claimant for the Quebec tax credit for natural caregiversStarting with version 10.13, DT Max defaults the claim for this refundable tax credit appearing on line 462 to the spouse with the higher income. Please use the Optimize keyword to switch the credit from one spouse to another if need be. This will affect all eligible relatives. Splitting the Quebec natural caregiver tax creditMuch like the defunct amount for dependent children, there are several scenarios under which the Quebec natural caregiver tax credit needs to be shared amongst persons who are not spouses. As long as the maximum allowable for the eligible relative is not exceeded, this can be done. Using the Transfer-OV keyword in the relative's file, you can provide all the details to share the tax credit while making sure the balance is not mistakenly given to the spouse. Note that it is normal that Schedule H does not have a line showing how much another claimant is taking. New warning issued for QPIP earningsIn accordance to government guidelines, DT Max issues a warning when the PPIP-Earn keyword is left blank. If indeed the Quebec parental insurance plan earnings are at zero, an entry of $0 is required.
