Your fix to declaring you do not want the CWB deduction does not work. I have done it three times now and said NO to it, but nothing changes on the return, including the amount of the refund, which is wrong because we are not eligible for the CWB. And there is a drawback - which you suggest there isn't - to taking the deduction - because if you are not eligible, you will have to return the money.
I called the CRA for clarification - was told - one must have $3000 of EARNED INCOME in order to qualify for the CWB - or there is a much more complicated formula online if anyone is interested. So if you only have $1,250, or $2,850 in EARNED income - anything under $3000 - one is not eligible for it. Honestly, you guys should know this - especially when people - your clients - have been asking since 2022 for information regarding this. Very disappointed with this product this year. I want to file now - not when you all get around to fixing something which you have been aware of for it looks like - close to two years.
