Why did my refund not change when I added more Child Care Expenses?

There is a limit on the amount of child care expenses that you can claim per child. If you were very close to or over the limit when you added more expenses, then the additional expenses are not going to count toward your refund.

For 2021 the limits are:

$8000 for eligible children born in 2015 or later, for whom the disability amount cannot be claimed.

$11000 for eligible children born in 2021 or earlier, for whom the disability amount can be claimed.

$5000 for eligible children born in 2005 to 2014 (and born in 2004 or earlier, with an impairment in physical or mental function, for whom the disability amount cannot be claimed).
