能否给父母claim care giver amount

[jeffhoxu]

请教大家一个报税的问题。 有谁在报税时给来探亲的父母申请过care giver amount 这一项？ 多谢。按照CRA地描述，只要父母是在1940年以前出生的，父母的年收入在$18000以下，和保税人住在一起就够资格申请。

如果你的父母是visitor身份，你不可以申请。如果是移民身份就可以。税表填写有很明确的说明。

Yes. If they stay with you more than half a year.

My understanding is that it all depends on their status in Canada. Yes, if they have SIN numbers.

this following response was wrong. Please note that the definition of tax resident is different from the definition of residency right.

If they stay over 183 days, they are considered tax resident. You can prorate the date for the credit.

按照 CRA 的说法，应该不能！ 这：

Can you claim the caregiver amount?



Can you claim the caregiver amount?

Answer the following questions to find out if you can claim the caregiver amount.
If, at any time in 2008, you (either alone or with another person) maintained a dwelling where you and one or more of your dependants lived, you may be able to claim a maximum amount of $4,095 for each dependant. Each dependant must have been one of the following individuals:

• your or your spouse's or common-law partner's child or grandchild; or
• your or your spouse's 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, each dependant must meet all of the following conditions. The person must have:

• been 18 or over at the time he or she lived with you;
• had a net income in 2008 (line 236 of his or her return, or what line 236 would be if he or she filed a return) of less than $18,081; and
• been dependent on you due to an impairment in mental or physical functions or, if he or she is your or your spouse's or common-law partner's parent or grandparent, born in 1943 or earlier.

If you were required to make support payments for a child, you cannot claim an amount on line 315 for that child. However, if you were separated from your spouse or common-law partner for only part of 2008 due to a breakdown in your relationship, you can still claim an amount for that child on line 315 (plus any allowable amounts on line 305 and line 318) as long as you do not claim any support amounts paid to your spouse or common-law partner on line 220. You may claim whichever is better for you.

Resident or Visitor?

Under paragraph 250(1)(a) of the Act, an individual who has not established sufficient residential ties with Canada to be considered factually resident in Canada, but who sojourns (that is, is temporarily present) in Canada for a total of 183 days or more in any calendar year, is deemed to be resident in Canada for the entire year.

However, an individual who is otherwise resident in Canada for purposes of the Act (whether factual or deemed), and who, at a given time, is resident in another country for purposes of a tax treaty between Canada and that country, is deemed not to be resident in Canada at that time, pursuant to subsection 250(5) of the Act. The individual is treated as a non-resident for all purposes of the Act.

Note that the person(s) that you claim this amount for must also file their own tax returns respectively. Without a SIN one cannot file a tax return, I guess.
