Support payments received.

[joeleaf68]

Why when I report support payments received is uFile automatically adding it to line 128, which is taxable, and not just line 156? The page to report support payments received only asks for personal info from the payer and the total amount. I don't know how to prevent it from adding to line 128. Any help would be appreciated

The program allows you to enter alimony or support payments received (for yourself and/or for your dependant child or children, whichever case applies).

 

To enter the amounts received pertaining to alimony or support payments, please follow these steps:

 

1. In the "QuikClik Navigator", select "Interview setup".

 

 

2. In the « Income » section on the right-hand side, check the box for « Alimony or support payments received » and click on « Next » at the bottom of the page.

 

3. Return to the "QuikClik Navigator", select the item "Child support/alimony" and choose the option « Support payments received by you » on the right-hand side screen.

 

4. On the page that appears, enter all the relevant information, in particular the following two lines "Total Support payments received in 2014" and "Non taxable child support expected for 2014".

 

The program will report these amounts to line 156 and 128 of the federal return. It should be noted that only the amount on line 128 is taxable.

 

For residents of Quebec, the program will report only the taxable amount on line 142 of the Quebec return.
