tenny80 Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Previous years we've always been able to file our tax returns as get them. It's not a big deal as i'm sure i'll have mine in a few days but just curious why this year it wont let me netfile, it says I have to tick the box on your spouses report saying no income to report? can I just tick that box then file my wifes?

tenny80 Posted February 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 So I put my t4 in and put $1 for income and now it lets me file my wifes, in canada we file separately so why is it doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenny80 Posted February 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 I'm not sure what you mean? it's all under the same account and we paid for both together? it's the web version, so same file I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTaxSmith Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hi tenny80. You should always wait until you get all the slips and information for both you and your spouse. The software will then optimize both returns to provide the best tax situation. Many deductions can transfer between spouses. If you don't wait until all the information is entered for both of you then you will end up paying more tax than you need to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenny80 Posted February 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 i've never paid more before, it will be interesting to see if my wifes changes when I enter my info in. Our kid has a DTC and that has to go on my wifes as she's the one it's linked to with CRA so maybe that's why. i'll wait though, it's not like its much longer now and i'm in no rush for the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
