Common question: “My 20-year-old son lives at home while attending university. I support him fully. Doesn't that make him an eligible dependant?” The CRA doesn't view your son as a dependant in this scenario unless he suffers from a physical or mental impairment.
This is the case even when living abroad, provided that they meet the income reporting threshold that year. Although filing an annual US tax return can be cumbersome, expat parents will be excited to learn that they often qualify for the same child tax breaks abroad as they would in the US.
If the eligible dependant is under 18 years of age at the end of the year, you may claim either: $2,616 on line 30500 of your return for each eligible dependant who is your (or your spouse's or common-law partner's) child.
An individual who files a joint return is not a dependent if the individual files a joint return, unless the joint return is filed only to claim a refund of estimated or withheld taxes. An individual claimed as a dependent must be a citizen, national, or resident of the United States, or a resident of Canada or Mexico.
In certain limited circumstances, you may be able to claim an amount for certain dependants who live outside Canada if they depended on you for support. For more information, see Income Tax Folio S1-F4-C2, Basic Personal and Dependant Tax Credits.
(updated Aug. 2, 2022) In general, you can claim qualifying individuals as your dependents. To be your dependent, the qualifying individual must be a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, U.S. resident alien, or a resident of Canada or Mexico for some part of the calendar year in which your tax year begins.
If the eligible dependant is under 18 years of age at the end of the year, you may claim either: $2,616 on line 30500 of your return for each eligible dependant who is your (or your spouse's or common-law partner's) child.
In certain limited circumstances, you may be able to claim an amount for certain dependants who live outside Canada if they depended on you for support. For more information, see Income Tax Folio S1-F4-C2, Basic Personal and Dependant Tax Credits.
In certain situations, you can claim your nonresident alien spouse as a dependent if they have no gross income and aren't a US citizen or resident. This allows you to use the head of household status. However, your spouse must have an ITIN, and you must provide over half of their support.
