Mejs Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Hi, How do I remove my daughter as a dependant and still maintain her information from previous tax returns such as unused tuition and charity donations? I would also like it to keep her personal information such as her SIN number. Does she automatically get removed as a dependant at a certain age? Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo123 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Hello Mejs, You can just leave her in the file (for prior year purposes) and delete from the current year, if no longer a Dependant. Or just leave it and create a new file for her. It is not automatically removed as Dependants can take various forms and types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mejs Posted March 7 Author Report Share Posted March 7 Thanks Geo123. I don’t understand. If I delete her from the current year, how will she access the previous years' info? If I leave it and create a new file for her, how will she access the previous years's info? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo123 Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Hello Mejs, It remains in prior years on your file, it is not automatically, nor can it be, transferred to her new file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mejs Posted March 8 Author Report Share Posted March 8 Can you please explain why they can’t be transferable to her new file? She is entitled to use the unused tuition and charity donations. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo123 Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Hello Mejs, UFile can not automate the transfer of data, it must be entered manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mejs Posted March 8 Author Report Share Posted March 8 Where in UFile do I go to find the amount of charity donations and tuition that I can carry forward to the next tax year and where do I enter this information once I’ve created her own file?

Geo123 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Hello Mejs, For next year's file, they will be carried forward automatically by UFile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mejs Posted March 11 Author Report Share Posted March 11 Hi Geo123, They won’t be carried forward if I create a separate file for her, correct? I don’t want UFile to consider her a dependant any more but I want to carry forward her unused charity donations and unused tuition amounts to her tax return for next year. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
