Disability Tax Credit

The disability tax credit is the money the CRA gives folks with disabilities (or their parents) after the CRA has OK’ed the disability. To quote the CRA on this:

The disability tax credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax credit that
helps persons with disabilities or their supporting persons reduce the
amount of income tax they may have to pay. An individual may claim
the disability amount once they are eligible for the DTC. This amount
includes a supplement for persons under 18 years of age at the end
of the year.

Applying for the DTC can be a cumbersome process, however, I strongly suggest not using any external firm for help, you can do this yourself, and you should, to ensure you keep the money that is due to you.

CRA and Patience

The Big Cajun Man details their protracted struggle with the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) to reclaim medical tax credits for our child’s schooling. Our initial claim was approved, but a school change prompted a denial, necessitating resubmission with updated documentation. The process has been excessively long, exceeding the CRA’s estimated timeframe, leaving me frustrated but resigned to waiting. I reflect on the situation, expressing my annoyance but acknowledging the lack of alternative options. Despite my personal connections within the CRA, I emphasizes the need for patience.
