Claiming the Tax Credit for Home-Support Services for Seniors

You may claim the tax credit when filing your income tax return or you may apply for advance payments of the tax credit.

Note: The tax credit to which you are entitled is the same whether you claim it in your income tax return or you apply for advance payments.

Claiming the tax credit in your income tax return

If you wish to claim the tax credit when filing your income tax return, consult the guide to the income tax return (TP-1.G-V) and complete Schedule J of your income tax return.

Applying for advance payments of the tax credit

You have until December 1 of the year in which an expense is incurred to send us an application for advance payments. Otherwise, you will have to claim the tax credit in your income tax return.

Advance payments related to eligible services included in your rent or condominium fees are made each month.

Advance payments related to eligible occasional services are made within 30 days following the date we receive the application.

You must be registered for direct deposit to receive advance payments of the tax credit.

You must complete the application form for advance payments that corresponds to your situation:

Application for Advance Payments Based on Rent and Services Included in Rent: Tax Credit for Home-Support Services for Seniors (TPZ-1029.MD.7-V)
Application for Advance Payments for Services Included in Condominium Fees: Tax Credit for Home-Support Services for Seniors (TPZ-1029.MD.8-V)
Application for Advance Payments for Occasional Services: Tax Credit for Home-Support Services for Seniors (TPZ-1029.MD.9-V)

If you are not registered for direct deposit with Revenu Québec, you must provide a blank cheque on which you marked “VOID” across the front and indicated your name and social insurance number.

If you are unable to provide us with a blank cheque, complete a Request for Direct Deposit (form LM-3.Q-V or LM-3.M-V). If you live closer to our Québec City office, use form LM-3.Q-V. If you live closer to our Montréal office, use form LM-3.M-V. The only difference between the forms is the address of the Revenu Québec office.
