You will file your taxes as per you normally would.
- At the beginning it will ask you if your residency status has changed, as well as your marital status, you enter YES and it will ask the date of marital status change as well as departure date from Canada, you enter this information.
- Continue through, when it comes to your non-resident spouse with no financial ties to Canada, you simply enter 000 000 000 for SIN and ZERO income because it relates to nothing in Canada, especially since you left within the first 2 months of that taxation year. On that same screen, be sure to select No to the “Are you claiming spousal amount?” question to ensure no credits are applied for him.
This will allow you to move forward in the tax return.
