In 2019 I married a non-Canadian. He still lives in the UK. He has no Canadian income or other financial ties to Canada. I am not supporting him financially.
I have entered 000 000 000 as his SIN and indicated he is a non-resident. For the question "Was [spouse]'s net income for 2019 zero?" what should I say? The question does not clarify whether it wants net Canadian income only or net income from any source. In 2019 he did have UK earnings but zero Canadian earnings. The income field indicates "Net income from [spouse]'s 2019 federal tax return (Line 23600)". He doesn't have a federal tax return so Line 23600 does not exist for him. Likewise, he does not have a Line 68360 of T1206.
So, should I answer "no" because he earned money in the UK but then leave these fields as 0.00 since he has no federal tax return? Or answer "yes" because his Canadian earnings were zero?
I have answered the next question, "Are you claiming spousal amount?" as No since he is not financially dependent on me.
Thanks!
