Tax Accountant
The person who receives the WITB advance payments is the person who must claim the basic WITB for the year. If you had an eligible dependant, you and another person cannot both claim the basic WITB for that same eligible dependant. If you had an eligible spouse, and one of you qualifies for the disability amount, that person should claim both the basic WITB and the WITB disability supplement.
If you had an eligible spouse and both of you qualify for the disability amount, only one of you can claim the basic WITB. However, each of you must claim the WITB disability supplement on a separate Schedule 6.
