Hi,
So I lived in Quebec for couple of years and received Child benefit payments from Quebec government.
Now since I moved to a different province before Dec 31, while filing taxes, I need to file for the New Province and not for Quebec correct ?
But what to do about the Child benefits I received from Quebec till I moved ?
Please can someone help me on the same.
Thank you

You need to call T1 General income tax line and give them the date you moved provinces . Not an estimated date , but the actual date .
System will recalculate from that date
On your income tax return you put the province you resided on 20231231

* And you advise Revenue Quebec

What happens to the family allowance and daycare allowance already paid out? Do we need to pay it back?

Per this page, returns have to be filed in Quebec if tax credits were received

Did you inform Revenue Quebec when you moved?
I am planning to move in February or March.

As mentioned by Revenu Quebec, if I have received family allowance or tax credit for child care, I have to file Quebec taxes.
Can I inform them upfront to stop the payments due to the planned movement, so that I don't have to file the taxes at the end of the year?

Call Revenu Quebec ask them how you should proceed.
