Hi, hoping someone can help.
My spouse and I became legally common-law married in May 2023 then he passed away due to cancer in Sept 2023.
I am the Ufile account head, I've added him as a spouse on my Ufile acct. When I enter marital status as "Widowed" and "Changed. Then on the "Marital Status Change" page I enter "Taxpayer Widowed", Ufile will generate the tax returns and says that I can e-file my tax return and my kids. I know I have to send my spouses return in by mail. BUT when click on "File return" for myself I get a CRA error that says I cannot e-file because of Schedule 6. I've indicated that I'm widowed and not married or common-law.
Do I file the 2023 return as if my spouse did not pass and just indicate my marital status as "Common-law" and "Changed" then on the "Marital Status Change" page I enter "no spouse, then common-law"? Then file a deceased final return for my spouse and myself as a widow for 2024?
