Question: Disability Amount Transfer?

I received a letter from Revenue Canada letting me know my daughter has been approved for the Disability Tax Credit she was born in Sept 2006 and recently diagnosed with Autism the letter states that because I did not have any taxable income from 2006-2008 the disability amount will not result in any additional refund for me, so my question is would my husband be able to claim the disability amount for those years as he was working and if he is able to claim it how would I go about that fill out a T1_ADJ for those years.
Answer: It is simple and straight forward.You would tell them to adjust line 318 of schedule 1 to include the “disability amount transfered from a dependent” The previous amount would be 0 the amount of change would the same as the revised amount which would be the full amount of the credit in the year applicable.
The amount for 2008 is 7,021
2007 6,890
2006 6,741
There is no calculation on your part but you must fill out one for every tax year. Be sure to include a copy of the disability tax credit letter you received from the CRA.
