I am married but filing separately. Our finances are completely separate. How do I file if I do not know my spouse's income?

You need to know your spouses Net Income or enter an estimate: 

Your tax return now reflects multiple factors, such as income levels of each spouse and available credits and deductions. When you get married, both your incomes are combined to determine eligibility for certain benefits, such as the GST/HST credit.

I want to object, but TurboTaxBrenda's answer is not the source of my frustration. I was hoping for a way to file without having to wait for her. Guess CRA doesn't allow that, any more than they allow me to access My CRA account. Useless. Thank you for answering.
