Re: filing a tax return to get child tax benefits
mb112012 said:
has anyone had to file a tax return that was blank to prove that their spouse had no income in order to get child tax benefits? It seems so pointless to me but I guess it has to be done. Just was wondering if anyone else had to do this. My spouse has not had a job since he arrived in canada so do we just put his name on a blank form and send it in for the tax return?
Thanks
Yes, I just found the tax returns online, just the general ones, printed them off...filled them in all NIL and 0's and mailed them in.
At first I just filed the NIL returns for the years we were married, but they wanted ALL years from the date he came to Canada. I had to wait 4+ months for them to fix my credits!
Also, I would suggest calling the International Tax Centre to get a temporary tax number...
Total pain in the butt! :
