For the BC Renter's Tax Credit, under "Rent Paid at address" should I enter the total for the year or the monthly rent amount?

Also, under "number of months of tenancy at this address" is it asking for just in 2023 or ever?

You would enter the total amount of rent you paid for the year, and the number of months you lived there in 2023.

Thank you! My rent is an amount plus I pay a percentage of utilities, should I include that?

TurboTaxSusan

If you pay utilities separate from your rent, then you would not include them.

Hi, can anyone tell me what to do for the BC Renter's Tax Credit? When I set up my 2023 tax return, the site did not give me the option to select it and I ended up filing without filling anything out for this credit. At first, I thought I didn't have to but then I saw this message that the person posting did fill something out and now I'm extremely confused. Thank you.

Please see this government of British Columbia link to find out more about the B.C. renter's tax credit. If you are eligible for the credit you may have to do an adjustment on your return.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

If you have become a deemed resident after being a resident of BC in 2023 for more than 6 months and are eligible for this return, the option to add this is not available. Any suggestions on next steps?
