**Disability tax credit:**

- Taxpayer is applying for DTC (for child - no income - under 18 - with autism).

Taxpayer has informed - in process of applying.

**Canada Caregiver credit**

- Taxpayer intends to claim CCC for same child mentioned above.

Read this on CRA website:  
[https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-return/completing-a-tax-return/deductions-credits-expenses/canada-caregiver-amount.html](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-return/completing-a-tax-return/deductions-credits-expenses/canada-caregiver-amount.html)

_Do you support a spouse or common-law partner, or a dependant with a physical or mental impairment? The Canada caregiver credit (CCC) is a non-refundable tax credit that may be available to you._

_You may also be able to claim the CCC if one or more of the following individuals depend on you for support because of a **physical or mental impairment** :_

_your (or your spouse’s or common-law partner’s) child or grandchild_

_For an eligible dependant under 18 years of age at the end of the year (who is a person you are eligible to make a claim for on line 30400), you may be entitled to claim an amount of $2,499 in the calculation of line 30400 or on line 30500 for your child._

**Once taxpayer has confirmed:**  
**1. Approved for DTC with respect to their child**  
**2. Child has an impairment requiring more assistance than children of the same age**

I will claim - **DTC and CCC** please see screenshot below from dependent worksheet:
