If you meet the eligibility conditions, you may be able to receive advance payments of the tax credit for caregivers for 2021 instead of waiting to claim it in your 2021 income tax return.

Advance payments are paid by the 12th of every month, by direct deposit only. How many payments you receive in the year depends on when we receive your application.

To find out the date and amount of your last payment or view information about your application, use the online service in My Account for individuals.
