How to give staycation credit to anyone in personal tax return for Ontario
It’s on other provincial credits on the last line of page 8 of the jacket before it totals taxes paid.
Is it possible to take a staycation? I thought it was based on Hotel and similar accommodations.
If Zogina means is it a credit for everybody in Ontario then no you can’t to that. There does have to be hotel costs etc that you get a credit of 20% up to whatever the limit is.
It is. You need to have the resorts invoice showing the dates, charges and HST
I had a client request that I print out the details of their Staycation Tax Credit claim because they didn’t see where the amount shows up on their tax return.
I opened up their tax returns, went to the “credits” worksheet where all the particulars regarding the Staycation Tax Credit are entered, printed that 5 page form (titled Details of Various Credit Amounts) and went to hand it to the client.
To my dismay I discovered the section for “Ontario Staycation Tax Credit”, although very visible on the computer screen is completely missing from the printed version of that form. I guess what you see is not what you get. 
Anyway, I told the client that even though the software is unable to print the details that I entered in the worksheet I did make the claim for her. 
Thank goodness this is only a single year claim…
It’s a good thing Greta Thunberg doesn’t know about us printing this “Other credits” schedule. What a waste of paper.

Somebody forgot to check whether it printed or not. 
but it shows up on ON479.
Would be nice if we can see the details.

They’re actually going to do it for '23 too I believe…

What if a taxpayer used their credit card points for the hotel during their Staycation?
The invoice shows the hotel name, dates, taxes, etc.
However, I can see points were redeemed and the amount paid was $0.00 at the bottom of the invoice.
