Submitting the Disability Tax Credit

Once you complete the application, you can send the form back to the patient, who can submit the form online by logging in to CRA My Account and submit it under “Submit Documents,” by physically mailing the application to the closest tax centre:

You can also submit the form on your patients behalf if you are filling out the application online, and your patient provided you with a reference number.

After the DTC has been submitted

If you have submitted the form on your patient’s behalf, the application can take a few weeks to process. You can check wait times here: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/corporate/contact-information/check-cra-processing-times.html

If the CRA has any questions about the application, they will contact you directly or send you an additional questionnaire. Make sure you stay consistent with your submitted information but go into further detail about how your patient is still restricted.
