    No, you don't need to prepare a return for your dependant to claim them as an eligible dependant. 

     

    Please see this TurboTax FAQ for the criteria for the eligible dependant credit and how to claim it: https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/turbotax-support/en-ca/help-article/tax-return/add-remove-amount-eligible-dependant-tax-return/L8MEiIpMp_CA_en_CA?uid=lh4z3nrx
