When I answer 'yes' I am married, and 'no' to did he have an income, it calculates the spouse deduction. If I say 'yes' he does have an income and enter zero's, I get errors. He is am American citizen living and working in the usa, so does not have a Canadian income. Trying to be sure I fill it out correctly.
