Once inside your return, please follow the steps below to enter your spouse's net income.

  • Go to your menu on the left side
  • Click on My Info then Marital Status to verify that married is ticked then click Continue on the bottom to save it.
  • On the menu, again, scroll down to click on Additional Information about (spouse) and this is where you will enter the income and other information about your spouse then click Continue.

If you are filing your returns separately then follow these steps to enter your spouse's net income.

  1. On the welcome to TurboTax screen, under the field "Let's get started. Who are you preparing this return for?" select myself and then enter your name in the field displayed below and click continue.
  2. On the next screen (What's your marital status?) select married for the first question and answer the second question according to your situation and click continue.
  3. On the next screen (Do you have children or financially support another person?) select yes if you have any children or financially support another person, or else select no, and then click on continue.
  4. On the next screen ('Your name, let's get the rest of your personal info) please provide all of the relevant information, and at the end click on continue.
  5. On the next screen (Where did you live at the end of the year?) select the province where you were living for the year, on the next question select yes if you have changed your province during the year and enter the date when you have changed it, or else select no if you had lived in the same province throughout the year, and click on continue.
  6. On the next screen (Did your Canadian residency change in 2021?) select yes if your residency has changed and enter the required information, or select no if your residency has not changed and click on continue.   
  7. On the next screen (Let's get your contact info) enter your contact information in the required fields and click on continue. 
  8. On the next screen (Now, let's get your spouse's information) enter all the required information about your spouse and click on continue.
  9. On the next screen (Tell us more about 'his/her name) on the first question select the province where he/she was living during the year, on the second question 'was his/her net income for 2021 zero?' select no and you will be prompted with two fields, first one to enter his/her net income and the second one to enter his/her split income. Later, fill in all the required information as mentioned.
