Oh ok thank yes he said that help. Husband said to ask if you were able claim marriage exemption or only a protion of the support you have paid. Sorry for all these question.cblgr said:Hi Needtobe with hubby!
I filed my income taxes with H&R Block, I got a small tax refund like in the 200$ range but it sure as heck beats payingWhen I went in I was super unsure if I should be claiming my husband since he's not here but the lady said yes as long as we're married than I can claim him. I asked her the same question I think 50 times in different ways, and finally I asked her straight out "have you filed for anyone else in my position before?" She said that she had a few times. I'm in a small city in New Brunswick so I had to ask. She said that CRA would most likely do an inquiry over the summer. I provided her with Western union statements proving that I'm supporting my spouse. She made copies and said that should there be an inquiry that H&R Block would be able to deal with it by sending them the proof of support and that they wouldn't need to bother me if it happened.
As for my GST benefits based on 2011's income, I got a letter from CRA on April 5 saying that I am being reassessed because my marital status changed. They asked me to send in my husband's 2011 "world income". For this I took the the total amount that he made in 2011 from his last pay check of 2011 and I converted that amount into Canadian dollars.
I called the tax office to see if he needed to sign the letter and they said no because he wasn't here yet. They said I just needed to indicate that he doesn't yet have a SIN since he's not yet arrived in Canada. I also had to tell them the date I was married. As proof I sent in a copy of my marriage certificate and also copies of western union transfers that I had sent him. They didn't ask for the proof but I'd rather send it and be safe than to have to send it later.
I don't think that they used any special form, I think she just filed him as my spouse. I do know that under his address they indicated Jamaica and that when it came to the place to enter his social insurance number she entered all 9's . ( 999-999-999). I think if you gave them a call they would help you out
Hope that helps

Need to be with Hubby said:
So in New Brunswick we have a basic amount that you are allowed to make which is around 10k. Since my husband makes less than that she subtracted his world income from the basic amount and the remainder that he had available is what I was able to claim towards my taxes. so around 6k. So I guess to answer your question it had nothing to do with the amount of money that I sent him it and it had everything to do with how much money he made. 
i know sis....wat trip me out is that me and royal lolly send our application around the same time....my application was 3 day before hers and look her hubby is in canada already...that a tripNevaeha said:Not fair, Maddants, not fair!
