Quebec Tax Credit for Caregivers (70 and Over)
QC Caregiver Credit 70+
Quebec's Tax Credit for Caregivers (for a care receiver 70 and over) is a refundable tax credit for people who provide care to a person 70 or older who does not have an impairment. It recognizes the help caregivers give to seniors who need support with daily life but do not qualify under the severe-impairment credit.
Conseils utiles pour la demande
This credit is for caregivers of a senior 70+ without an impairment; if the senior has a severe impairment, the 18+ credit may apply instead. Coordinate with family so only one person claims for a given care receiver. The credit is refundable, so you receive it even if you owe no tax.
Qui peut être admissible
You may qualify if you were a Quebec resident on December 31, you provided care to a person 70 or older who is not your spouse and does not have an impairment, you lived with that person, you were not remunerated for the care, and only you claim an amount for that care receiver.
Documents requis
Your Quebec income tax return with Schedule H, and proof that you lived with and provided care to a person 70 or older (not your spouse) without remuneration.
Comment présenter une demande
Claim the credit on your Quebec income tax return (Schedule H). You must have lived with the person (who is not your spouse) and provided care without remuneration.
Erreurs courantes à éviter
A common mistake is claiming this for your spouse, who is not eligible as a care receiver for this credit. Another is not realizing the care receiver must be 70 or older and not have an impairment (the 18+ credit covers impaired care receivers). People also miss that only one person can claim for a given care receiver.
