Carry-Back of a deduction or tax credit (TP-1012.B-V)

If in a previous year you forgot to claim a deduction or credit on your return, you can use the TP-1012.B-V: Carry-back of a deduction or tax credit form to adjust that return and claim what you might have originally missed.

Note: The TP-1012.B-V form is only used to carry-back certain deductions or tax credits to a previous year. For all other deductions, credits, and changes, use the TP-1.R.V form to adjust your Québec tax return.

Some deductions and credits you can carry-back with the TP-1012.B-V are:

Note: While carrying back your deductions or credits won’t reduce any late-filing penalties for the carry-back year, they might result in a refund which can be applied against amounts you owe for another tax year.

You can also carry-back a deduction or tax credit to a previous year’s tax return online through the Revenu Québec website. If you choose this option, you’ll have to be registered with Revenu Québec’s My Account service.
