To be eligible for the solidarity tax credit, you must file your income tax return and meet all the applicable requirements.

Completing Schedule D is the only way to make sure that you receive the full amount of each component of the solidarity tax credit. If you are eligible for the credit but do not complete Schedule D, you will receive only the basic amount of the QST component and the spousal amount, if applicable.

As a rule, you must have registered for direct deposit to receive the solidarity tax credit.

For an estimation of the tax credit you may receive, use the Solidarity Tax Credit Payments Estimator.

Special cases

Spouse

If, on December 31, 2025, you had a spouse who lived with you, only one person can complete Schedule D to claim the solidarity tax credit for both of you.

If, on December 31, 2025, you had a spouse who did not live with you (for example, if one of you permanently lives in a residential and long-term care centre [CHSLD]), each of you must complete a separate Schedule D to claim the solidarity tax credit.

New resident

If you became resident in Québec in 2025, you must complete Schedule D of your 2025 income tax return to claim the tax credit for the period from July 2026 to June 2027.

Bankruptcy

If you declared bankruptcy, you must claim the solidarity tax credit in your return for the period following the bankruptcy. When we calculate the amount of you credit, we will use your income for the same period.

How to make changes to or complete Schedule D

If any of the information on your Schedule D is incorrect or incomplete, you can do one of two things:

• Complete a new copy of Schedule D in full with the correct information, and send it and form TP-1.R-V, Request for an Adjustment to an Income Tax Return, to us.
• Correct the information using the online service for managing your solidarity tax credit file in My Account for individuals.

Did you forget to claim the credit?

To receive your full solidarity tax credit for a given period, you must file a claim no later than December 31 of the fourth taxation year following the one for which you are claiming the credit.

You may be entitled to the solidarity tax credit even if you lived in a dwelling that is not eligible, such as a dwelling in low-rental housing (HLM), on December 31, 2025. In such a case, we take into account only two components of the credit: the QST component and, where applicable, the component for individuals living in a northern village.
