A person you are living with in a conjugal relationship, but are not married to, and one of the following situations apply.

• are the parent of your child by birth or adoption
• have custody and control of your child (or had custody and control immediately before the child turned 19 years of age) and your child is wholly dependent on that person for support

I got divorced in Dec. 1999, and I have never remarried nor had a common-law spouse.

I  may have put single in my Turbotax when I filed the return.

Your marital status should be divorced. You can call the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to make the change at 1-800-387-1193 or follow their link to change your status.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

I did my taxes for the first time after getting married, I had this same error message and couldn't find any way to get past it. So frustrating. Turbotax asking questions about the spouse I apparently don't have lol. What finally worked for me was I updated my marital status in my CRA account to married, and made sure my address was updated as well. I then signed out of everything, signed back in, started a completely new return, and the error message was gone.
