Can we prepare our returns together as we prepared the 2021 tax returns separately, to compare which way to submit as we are common law living?

[Sam_Tax]

Yes, you can prepare your returns together. We recommend preparing your returns together, as the software maximizes the benefits for the couple as a whole while still generating two separate returns. For more information, please refer to the following TurboTax article: Facts Every Canadian Needs to Know About Filing Coupled Tax Returns 

To prepare your returns together in TurboTax Online, when you start a new return, if you have information to transfer from last year, you will have the option to only transfer one partner’s information into a return just for that person. Or you can click on “Create A Different Return” to start a new return from scratch, without any information from last year.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
