When you are married or in a common-law relationship, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) takes into consideration the combined household income when calculating credits. However, if your spouse or partner knows your net income, they should include it on their tax return to avoid being granted credits they are not eligible to receive.
Yes, you can do your return separately to save you money. Choosing TurboTax Full Service also includes Audit Defence which is something to have that eases the mind if the CRA decides to audit you.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
