Dears,

while filling the tax income form for 2019, the person who helps us to fill said i cant put the income the spouse is sending from outside Canada.

He said only the income inside Canada generated by my employment, but my spouse helps too by sending money from outside.

Any advise Please?

Thanks

1. No, the money you receive from your spouse overseas is not included on your Canadian tax return.

You do need to report the income of your spouse overseas to determine any benefit amount that you are receiving.
