RESOURCES   -    Tax Credits   <-------------------------------------- New --------

Just like every other year, you have to prepare your tax returns. Have you been receiving all the deductions and tax credits that you are entitled to because of your handicap situation?

Based on personal circumstances, a person may be entitled to tax reductions in the form of deductions or tax credits.

The content on this page is from the website of Quebec Government and Revenu Quebec.

You have tax questions? For more information, contact Revenu Québec (1-800-267-6299) or Canada Revenue Agency.

1. CERTIFICATE RESPECTING AN IMPAIRMENT

In the past, have you been claiming the amounts you have been entitled to based on significant and prolonged physical disabilities? If you haven’t been making a claim it would be good to know that previous unclaimed amounts can be recovered retroactively (at least in part), and you do not need to complete all the forms for each year that you misssed out.

To benefit from the deductions and credits, start by asking your doctor to fill these 2 forms:

• Certificate attesting to a handicap from Revenue Quebec (TP-752.0.14) - Certificate Respecting an Impairment. This form is used to certify that, for a prolonged period, a person has a severe mental or physical impairment.
• Canada Revenue Agency form T 2201 – Disability Tax Credit Certificate. Individuals who have an impairment in physical or mental functions that is severe and prolonged use this form to apply for the disability amount.
