my partner and i are trying to file our taxes, and we keeping getting a warning that we are claiming CWB but are not eligible.
Name: You are claiming Canada Workers Benefit (CWB). However, your situation makes you ineligible for CWB. You need to review this claim.
Click Applies to me to fix the warning.
Click Ignore and you will not see the warning again.
when we click applies to me, it takes us to a page that looks like this
there's no option to not claim CWB, if we click the 'no' for checking if we qualify it just gets rid of question about being a diplomat or whatever, and if we click 'yes' for that question nothing changes.
whats the deal??

The Canada Workers Benefit (CWB - Line 45300) is for low-income individuals and families who have earned income from employment or business.
It's calculated based on your income and family situation, so you need to enter all your income and info about your spouse/partner and dependants before TurboTax can accurately calculate your eligibility for the benefit.
Even if you select Yes to claim the CWB, TurboTax will not calculate this benefit if you are not eligible for it.
