To claim the credit, you first need to calculate the amount of your claimable medical expenses. You do that by completing the following lines on your tax return:

• On your federal Income Tax and Benefit Return (also called form “T1”), lines 33099 through 33200
• On the Ontario Tax portion of your return (also called “Form ON428”), lines 58689 through 58769

Once you’ve completed those lines, you will be able to use the Ontario Credits portion of your return (also called Form ON479) to claim your Ontario Seniors Care at Home Tax Credit. Complete lines 4 -14 of Form ON479 to claim the credit.

The credit is a refundable personal income tax credit. This means that if you are eligible, you can get this tax credit even if you do not owe any income tax for the year.

IMPORTANT: Tax returns involving medical expenses and deductions can be complicated. To ensure you maximize your tax savings, we recommend consulting an experienced tax professsional.
