Dear members,
I am a Canadian PR. I got married in Dec 2012 in my native country, and I returned back to Canada in mid-March 2013. My wife is back home. She does not have any income. Here in Canada I am preparing to file my tax return using Studio Tax software. Here are my doubts:
In studio software there is a checkbox in the wizard where I can check if my spouse is a non-resident. But after completing the wizard I see the automatically filled form T1. In the box 'Information about your spouse' I cannot see the fact of my spouse being non-resident mentioned anywhere and the SIN number field is left empty.
So if I go ahead and file my return online will I face problems such as CRA asking for my wife's SIN number?
Additionally do I have to fill any other form to declare my change in marital status other than just mentioning this in my T1? Since my coming back here in Canada I have not yet sent any money back home to my wife, so I am not claiming any of that. Does this entail any other paperwork?
