Seniors in Canada may qualify for the $7,500 Canada Tax Credit, a non-refundable benefit designed to help offset home accessibility or disability-related expenses. To apply, eligible seniors (typically 65+) must claim the credit on their annual tax return using Schedule 1 (Federal Tax) and Form T2201 (Disability Tax Credit) if applicable. Supporting documents like receipts for eligible renovations or medical certifications may be required. For full details, visit the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website or consult a tax professional.
