Hello, I have been living with my partner for over a year continuous (over 2 with a gap of a week) which I read qualifies us for common law for tax purposes. We filed the application for common law sponsorship last week. I (the sponsor) am about to start a new job and I need to fill out a "2016 Personal Tax Credits Return" form. Can/should I claim item 7 at the full amount since my partner is not working will not be allowed to work for at least a year. She is living with me and currently remains in Canada under implied status.
Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!
