Applying for the tax credit

You can claim the tax credit when you file your income tax return. Alternatively, you may find it advantageous to apply for advance payments of the tax credit if the amount of your eligible expenses is substantial.

In your income tax return

(For 2007 and subsequent taxation years)

When you file your income tax return, you can claim the tax credit for

eligible expenses that you incurred during the year;
eligible expenses included in your rent or condominium fees.

It is therefore essential that you keep all invoices and contracts respecting eligible services you paid for during the year.

In the form of advance payments

(For 2007 and subsequent taxation years)

If you have significant expenses, it may be to your advantage to apply to receive advance payments of the tax credit.

Here is the procedure to follow:

Complete form TP-1029.MD.1-V, Registration for Advance Payments.
Complete form TP-1029.MD.2-V, Application for Advance Payments, in which you indicate the amount of the eligible expense or expenses (expenses starting in 2007, including expenses included in your rent or condominium fees).

Advance payment of the tax credit

Revenu Québec will deposit the amount of the tax credit corresponding to your expenses directly in your bank account. Deposits will be made

within 30 days following an application for occasional expenses;
before the 1st of each month for ongoing or regular expenses (for example, for an expenses included in your rent).
