Disability may qualify for tax relief

Even if you haven’t claimed your disability in the past, you may want to check if you qualify this year. The guidelines have recently been modified to include more Canadians.

Reid and Obama Remarks in Las Vegas

Question: How can I claim more benefit?

I’m already claiming unemployment benefit, jobseekers allowance, tax credits and child benefit for each of my nine children. As Gordon is not shy about dishing out billions of taxpayers money to us scroungers, I think this is the ideal time to go for disability benefit and carers allowance too.

But I need a good reason to tell the doctor. He didn’t agree that being a gypsy meant I was incapable of work (It does!), and didn’t believe ALL my children had Aspergers and Tourettes.

Any ideas?
Thanks jakeja8m, but I already have one. One paid for by YOU! Har har!

Answer: Get a life

Question: Would someone who was off work for over a year because of heart surgery qualify for disability tax credit?

This is for Canadians.
The person was on short term disability, then on long term disability. Off work from Dec. 2005 until April 2007.

Thanks!!

Answer: Likely not.

In order to qualify the person needs to suffer from a prolonged impairment which markedly restricts daily function in one of a number of ways. Not being able to work isn’t a strict enough test.

Question: If you recieve disability but don’t make enough to pay taxes on it can you still get child credits?

How much to you get for 1 child if earnings were only $7600 &
no taxes were taking through the year

Answer: Good news!

If you only had an income of $7600 and you have a child whom you can claim on your return, you won’t have any tax liability, AND you’ll be able to receive the $1,000 tax credit.

A tax credit offsets your tax liability, meaning it decreases your tax or increases your refund by the amount of the credit. Since you have a zero tax liability, filing your tax return will get you a check in the amount of $1,000 from the federal government.
