How does a change in marital status affect my tax return?
by TurboTax•67• Updated 2 months ago
First, you need to tell the CRA about your life change via phone, mail, or updating your online account. You must do this by the end of the next month following your change. For example, if you got married in June, you must tell them by the end of July.
To avoid issues with NETFILE, wait until after you’ve notified the CRA before doing your taxes. Remember that the marital status on your tax return is based on your status at the end of that tax year.
Select your situation to learn more about how your marital status change may affect your taxes.
