Tax questions help

Ok, here's the problem with the siblings. So the family had 3 kids 2,6,12. The 6 and 12 yr old were coming after school. So the total for them was over 6000 dollars. The mom is going to take 5000 dollars and apply it to the younger child then divide the rest among the other two kids. But in my books it doesn't show that amount. So if I get audited I would have to show them that the kids only should have 300 dollars each,.does that make sense. And the older boy is disabled. I read that if you are collecting disability you can't claim daycare because you get money already. This mom every year tries to screw me over. Last year she said that my total was wrong, this year again,Shen then wants yo play the disability card. I have it all written down.

They can claim for disabled child in fact they get higher amount than normal because sometimes specialist care costs more. From this year allowed up to $10k for disabled child (preschool or younger) or $8k for any other preschooler. Different amount for school age.

But, you don't need to worry about what they can claim or how they do it. You just need own house in order.

It is one receipt per child. Says clearly on website. Think this might be recent change due to income splitting.

This Mom has no way to screw you over if you just follow CRA guides. WRite out one receipt per child based on what she paid. Up to her how she messes around with her taxes but you have to take care of yours, not her requirement.
