What is Form T929?

Form T929, Disability Supports Deduction, is the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) calculation for the deduction on line 21500 of your return. If you have an impairment in physical or mental functions, you may be able to deduct what you paid for devices and services, such as sign-language interpretation, note-taking, talking textbooks or attendant care, so that you could be employed, carry on a business, do research for a grant, or attend a designated educational institution or secondary school.

Step 1 lists the expenses and any reimbursements or assistance. Step 2 limits the deduction to your earned income; if you attended a designated educational institution or secondary school, it adds the lesser of your net income above your earned income and $375 per week of attendance, up to $15,000.

FileIt asks for each expense and your income, does the arithmetic and prints every line into the CRA's fillable T929 PDF (edition T929 E (24), the edition the CRA's form page links). You keep the form and your receipts; FileIt saves them in your vault and doesn't file anything for you.

  • Your earned income: employment and net self-employment income, the taxable part of scholarships, net research grants and the other amounts the form lists.

What’s on Form T929

The 2024 edition has 2 pages. FileIt asks for it in 2 parts:

  1. Step 1 – Your net disability supports expensesEmployee
  2. Step 2 – Your disability supports deductionEmployee

How to fill out Form T929, step by step

1 Step 1 – Expenses

List each device or service, the amount paid and any amount reimbursed. FileIt totals both columns and works out your net disability supports expenses on line 3.

2 Earned income (line 4)

Enter your earned income as the form defines it on page 2.

3 Students (lines 5 to 10)

If you attended a designated educational institution or secondary school, tick it and enter your net income and weeks of attendance. FileIt works out lines 6, 7 and 9 and takes the lesser of lines 7 and 9, up to $15,000. Otherwise line 10 is 0.

4 Your deduction (lines 11 and 12)

Line 11 adds lines 4 and 10, and line 12 is the lesser of line 3 and line 11. Enter it on line 21500 of your return.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Claiming the same expense as both a medical expense and a disability supports expense.
  • Not subtracting reimbursements from insurance or other non-taxable assistance.
  • Including losses from self-employment in earned income.
  • Claiming an expense in a year other than the one it was paid.
  • Missing receipts that show the payee (and the SIN for an individual attendant).

After you fill it out

Enter line 12 on line 21500 of your return.

Don't attach the form or receipts to your return; keep them in case the CRA asks. FileIt saves the T929 in your vault.
