The need for an "File \ Export a Dependent's details to a new tax file" option is so obvious to anyone with children who are leaving home, that I can't understand why UFile hasn't provided this capacity before now. It would be not difficult to provide.
Q: Can anyone representing UFile speak to this issue and say whether we can expect a solution in UFile 2016?
In reply to those who have commented on this issue: I'm running UFile 2015 (Windows). I've found no way to export a dependent's details from my current tax file. The latter is a binary file, so I can't open it with a text editor and read or copy relevant sections from it, as I might if it were an xml-type file. I think that all I can do is take note of those of my dependent's financial details (in my current tax file) that I will need in her own tax file), open a new tax file for her, and manually enter my now-ex-dependent's details into that file.
Maybe next year UFile will be more considerate of clients who have dependents who are moving out of the parental home or otherwise becoming financially independent. To paraphrase Mr Trudeau, "Why not? It's 2016.".
