Can Family Members Claim or Transfer the Disability Tax Credit?
In some situations, an unused DTC amount may be transferred to a supporting family member. This depends on the facts, relationship, support provided, and tax situation.
Common family scenarios
- A parent supporting a child with a disability.
- An adult child supporting a parent.
- A spouse or partner providing support.
Transfer rules can be tax-specific, so professional advice may be appropriate.
