    Issue with the website: it won't let me completely remove information I erroneously put in for a common law partner that I don't have. How do I fix this?

    If you separated or divorced in 2020, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will still require your ex-spouse’s/ ex-partner’s information. The info is needed for a number of reasons, like eligibility for certain credits or deductions, handling property you still own together, etc.

     

    If you separated or divorced before 2020, you say "No" to the question "Did you separate from your spouse/partner in 2020?". Then you won’t need to provide any info about your ex-spouse/ ex-partner. This FAQ has instructions on how to change your marital status if you have already passed that point: https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/replies/3425400
