Hello i was hoping someone can help me with any information regarding how to claim the canada child benefit and how to enter this info in tax cycle.
The client is separated from his common law and pay child support ( always had since they separated 2018) and they have a shared custody agreement (50/50) on his last 2018 return its showing that the credit portion claimed was 4721. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure what you mean by “credit portion claimed” - are you saying the child had income? Otherwise, all you do is mark “Yes” that the child lived with him and “Shared custody” for CCB purposes. CRA’s CCB department will determine whether he gets anything. If he wants to plead his case, he should phone the CCB department directly.
