I am doing our family taxes, for myself (unemployed last year), husband (employed) and my elderly mother. I want to claim the Caregiver amount for my husband, but am told (using QuickTax) that her net income from line 150 must be less than $17,xxx. I checked and her net income is several hundred dollars more than the cutoff amount. BUT that net income includes the Guaranteed Income Supplement of a little over $5,000. Without the GIS her income is a little over $12,000. Any chance I can put the net income without the GIS down??? Or a way around this?? I think it may make a big difference without the Caregiver amount..
