Financial Empowerment Series – Tax Strategies & Disability-Specific Accounts

Financial Empowerment Series – Tax Strategies & Disability-Specific Accounts

Learn practical ways to keep more of your income by understanding key tax credits and savings options available to people with disabilities. In this session, we cover the Disability Tax Credit (DTC)—including eligibility, how to apply, and how to use it—as well as the Medical Expense Tax Credit and other supports such as the Caregiver Credit and Working Income Tax Benefit.

We also explain disability-focused savings tools like the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), including who qualifies, how grants and bonds work, and withdrawal rules. Plus, learn how TFSAs and RRSPs can support long-term financial planning.

Finally, get helpful tax filing tips, including how to track medical and disability-related expenses and avoid common mistakes.

This session is designed to help individuals and families make informed financial decisions and maximize the supports available to them.
