If you were responsible for a family-type or intermediate resource (you used your home as a foster home for children or group home for adults) during the year and you hosted a maximum of 9 users at your principal residence, you’ll need to complete form LM-53-V to determine your insurable and/or pensionable earnings to calculate the following amounts:
- Québec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP) premiums and
- Québec Pension Plan (QPP) contributions
If someone else in your household is also responsible for your family-type or intermediate resource, both of you will need to complete the LM-53 page in your own returns.
Note: If only you were responsible for the family-type or intermediate resource and you didn’t use the services of an assistant or a replacement in 2017, you don’t need to complete this form. H&R Block’s tax software will automatically calculate your QPIP premiums and QPP contributions based on the amounts you entered on the RL-29 page.
What is a family-type or intermediate resource?
A family-type or intermediate resource refers to a person that takes those suffering from a chronic illness, mental health problems, or those within the foster care system into their own home and provides them with social and health services.
Where can I find the net remuneration amount?
The net remuneration amount is shown in box A (net remuneration) of the RL-29 slip. When completing this page, if another person was also responsible for the family-type or intermediate resource, you’ll need to enter the amount from box A of his or her RL-29 slip in the designated field on your LM-53 page (and vice versa).
Where do I claim this?
