[DreaH]

Hello, how am i supposed to guess my spouse' income when he has not filed yet...won't he have the same issue of i cant't file properly beacuse my taxes are not complete? ths does not make any sense

@DreaH If your marital status is "Married" or Common Law,' you do need to report your partner's income as per the CRA's requirement to calculate the household income even if you are preparing your returns separately. If you don’t know what it is, you can enter an estimate to continue your return. Then when your spouse has completed their return, you can go back and put the correct income in before you file.

Ok so if I understand properly since my income is easier to calculate my spouse should file his taxes first or start to enter his info and once we have a specific amount I can file mine to obtain the correct info for his taxes? Do I just enter how much I made this year after provincial and federal taxes?

@DreaH That is correct; you would be required to enter your spouse's information. Once he has his information, you can add it to your tax profile. 

You will report the income amount as per reported on your T-Slips.
