Hi again and thank you for the further insight.
Sorry for any confusion - I do ensure that the the checkbox for processing my spouse's return is checked when I import last year's file. And I reviewed the Personal Information box just now for this 2023 return, and I see the this checkbox for processing my spouse's return is still checked (although it is grayed out - why I do not know?).
As an aside, I import last year's file and go straight to Forms. I do not go through the interview process, as this is time that I feel is better spent on other things. After 25+ years of using this software and its predecessors, I'm fairly familiar with the information that CRA is looking for.
I admit that I'm surprised to hear that there is a need to have a cleared cache for this standalone CD-installed version of software to run 'properly'. I get that there is a need to register it before use, to ensure it is a legitimate copy. And I get that the software checks for updates each and every time it starts up. But after that, if it is standalone...? Are you saying that if I lost my internet connection that I would not be able to use this standalone software? Please explain...
Many thanks and Cheers
