[Mhvk]

My income is $52K. My wife does not want to work here. What would be the tax credits when she files. If she does not file, how much can I claim. Province is Ontario, and no kids

   If your wife files her tax return with no income, there are some non-refundable tax credits that will be available for her. However, you can also claim these unused amounts to reduce your taxable income. 

   In the case of Spousal Amount, the maximum amount she can transfer for you in the tax year 2022 in Line 30300 is $14,398 or $16,748 if your spouse or common-law partner is eligible for the Canada caregiver amount.

Note: This credit can be claimed by only one person for the spouse or common-law partner.
