Disability Tax Credit in Quebec: Quebec has a unique dual tax system. DTC approval from CRA covers the federal credit, but Quebec residents must also apply separately to Revenu Québec for the provincial disability amount.
For a comprehensive overview of the DTC, see our Complete Guide to the Disability Tax Credit in Canada.
DTC Benefits for Quebec Residents
Quebec is the only province in Canada that administers its own income tax system separately from the federal government. This means Quebec residents must file two tax returns — one federal (with CRA) and one provincial (with Revenu Québec). For the DTC, this creates a two-step process that is unique to Quebec.
The federal DTC application is submitted to CRA using the T2201 form, as in all other provinces. However, to receive the provincial disability amount, Quebec residents must also submit a separate application to Revenu Québec. The provincial form is the TP-752.0.14-V (Certificate Respecting an Impairment).
| Component | Adult | Child (Under 18) |
|---|---|---|
| Federal DTC credit | ~$1,521/yr | ~$1,521/yr |
| Federal child supplement | — | ~$887/yr |
| Quebec provincial credit | ~$525/yr | ~$525/yr |
| Quebec child supplement | — | ~$340/yr |
| Combined annual credit | ~$2,046/yr | ~$3,273/yr |
| 10-year retroactive | ~$20,460 | ~$32,730 |
For children, DTC approval also unlocks the Child Disability Benefit (up to $3,411/year tax-free) and the RDSP (up to $90,000 in lifetime government grants and bonds).
Quebec's Dual Application Process
This is the most important difference for Quebec residents. In all other provinces, CRA approval of the T2201 automatically triggers both the federal and provincial credits. In Quebec, you must apply separately to each agency.
Step one is submitting the T2201 to CRA for the federal DTC. Step two is submitting the TP-752.0.14-V to Revenu Québec for the provincial disability amount. The medical information required is similar, but the forms are different and must be submitted to different agencies.
My Benefits Canada manages both applications for Quebec residents. We coordinate with your medical practitioner to complete both the T2201 (federal) and the TP-752.0.14-V (provincial), and we submit to both CRA and Revenu Québec on your behalf.
Quebec-Specific Benefits Unlocked by the DTC
DTC approval in Quebec unlocks or enhances eligibility for several provincial programs. The Solidarity Tax Credit is a refundable tax credit administered by Revenu Québec that combines the QST credit, housing component, and northern village component — individuals with disabilities may qualify for enhanced amounts. The Quebec Supplement for Handicapped Children provides additional financial support to families with children who have significant disabilities. The Social Solidarity program provides income assistance to Quebecers with severely limited capacity for employment.
Quebec also offers the Refundable Tax Credit for Medical Expenses, which can be claimed in addition to the disability amount, and the Tax Credit for Caregivers, which benefits family members who provide care to a person with a disability.
How the DTC Interacts with Social Solidarity
Quebec's Social Solidarity program (similar to ODSP in Ontario or AISH in Alberta) provides monthly income assistance to individuals with a severely limited capacity for employment. Like other provincial disability income programs, Social Solidarity and the DTC are separate programs with different criteria.
Retroactive DTC refunds may affect your Social Solidarity benefits. If you are currently receiving Social Solidarity, consider directing your retroactive refund into an RDSP to protect your monthly assistance.
Finding a Medical Practitioner in Quebec
Quebec has a strong healthcare network, with major centres in Montreal and Quebec City. For mental functions, the Douglas Mental Health University Institute (Montreal), the Montreal Children's Hospital (part of the MUHC), and the Institut universitaire en santé mentale de Québec have practitioners experienced with disability documentation.
For physical disabilities and neurological conditions, major centres include the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM), the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), and the Institut de réadaptation Gingras-Lindsay-de-Montréal.
An important consideration for Quebec: many practitioners are more comfortable completing forms in French. The TP-752.0.14-V is available in both French and English, and the T2201 can be completed in either official language. My Benefits Canada provides bilingual support for Quebec applications.

How to Apply in Quebec
Quebec's dual-filing requirement makes the application process more complex than in other provinces. My Benefits Canada manages both the federal (CRA) and provincial (Revenu Québec) applications, coordinates with your practitioner for both forms, and handles all follow-up communication with both agencies.

This guide reflects publicly available information as of February 2026. Provincial credit amounts are approximate. Quebec's dual-filing requirement means processing times may differ from other provinces. Consult Revenu Québec for the most current provincial disability amount.
