父母探亲报税的问题

I am wondering that parents have to be over 65 years old? For those who are under 65 years old, but live here for one year, does that rule apply?

Thanks

If you have a SIN, then you don't need follow "183 rule". '183 rule" is for foreigner who don't need a SIN. Once they live in Canada exceed 183 days in one year, they are considered as "deemed resident". Search CRA website for related info. The information I got is from my personal experience of fighting with CRA. You may get rejected if you claim that amount as not many CRA agent know this. However, if you fight for yourself, you can get it for sure. Done this several times already.

Totally agree! I have the same experience of fighting with CRA. In the end, I got the claim!

no, not at all



如果父母帮子女带孩子,子女想申报托儿费用的话,父母必须是移民,而且有SIN NUMBER,父母同时也得申报这项收入。但一般来说,父母是低收入的,而子女有相对较好的收入,这样做,是有利的

如果申请CARE GIVER AMOUNT,父母也得是移民或公民,65岁以上,他们得搬与子女居住,(这里的加拿大人一般是不与父母住的)。

183天也是指移民报税年度,居住超过183天(留学生可能也包括在内,这个我不敢肯定)
 
还有一点,CRA一般是抽查,如果抽查中发现问题,会发信,让你提供材料(从新评估信)。一旦被重新评估,很有可能会连查你3年,所以这3年你要保存好各项收据。
 
This is wrong

"如果申请CARE GIVER AMOUNT,父母也得是移民或公民" - Some less knowledgeable CRA reviewers may think this way, but CRA's expert legal counsel apparently would admit the legibility of your elderly parents for the care-giver amount, even if they entered Canada with a Visitor's visa, e.g., not 移民或公民.
 
There will be not much for you to get

Maximum $3933 * 15.25% which is around $600 credit. You could just get maximun $300 back.

It applies only to parents over 65. Does not matter you are supporting both or just one, $3933 is the maximum.

This is not right. I got around $1700 tax back for each parent.
 
Re: Re: There will be not much for you to get

Is it line 315 you using?

---------------------------------------------------------------------
If, at any time in 2006, you (either alone or with another person) maintained a dwelling where you and a dependant lived (a spouse or common-law partner is not considered your dependant), you may be able to claim a maximum amount of $3,933. The dependant must have been one of the following individuals:

your or your spouse or common-law partner's child or grandchild; or
your or your spouse or common-law partner's brother, sister, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle, parent, or grandparent who was resident in Canada.
You cannot claim this amount for a person who was only visiting you.

In addition, you can claim an amount for more than one dependant as long as each one meets all of the following conditions. The dependant must have:

been 18 or older when he or she lived with you;
had a net income (line 236 of his or her return, or what line 236 would be if he or she filed a return) of less than $17,363; and
been dependent on you due to mental or physical infirmity or, if he or she is your or your spouse or common-law partner's parent or grandparent, born in 1941 or earlier.

You're a deemed resident of Canada for tax purposes if you:

stay in Canada for 183 days or more (the 183-day rule) in the tax year;
don't have residential ties with Canada; and
aren't considered a resident of another country under the terms of a tax treaty between Canada and that country.
If you're considered a resident of a country with which Canada has a tax treaty, you may be considered a deemed non-resident for taxation purposes.

The sad thing is: not many agent asking the phone know that. You may not get what you entitled to get.
