Canada Workers Benefit

[Mayellah]

Hi!!! 
First time poster...
When it asks if you want to INCLUDE non-taxable income to claim  Canada Workers Benefit, do you?
"Are you choosing to include tax-exempt income in calculating the CWB?"

You need a minimum amount of employment income to be eligible for the Canada Workers Benefit (CWB). The minimum is different between provinces & territories, but in most cases, it’s $3000.

You may want to choose to include tax-exempt income in the CWB calculations if your taxable employment income is not enough to get you the credit. The tax-exempt income that can be used in CWB calculations is the tax-exempt part of working income earned on a reserve and/or an allowance received as an emergency volunteer.  

For more information on the Canada Workers Benefit (CWB), please see this Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) webpage: Canada Workers Benefit (Working Income Tax Benefit before 2019)
