Can anyone walk me though have to add eligible dependent on CMR for a prior tax year? The CRA had me add $1 to line 51106, and said that was it. The request is processing, but I am not confident it will work. TIA
It’s not $1 - it’s a value of “1” as opposed to “0” or blank. The 1 indicates you’re answering “yes” to the eligible dependent question.
Thank you, but I am not sure that is right. It indicates Dependant’s net income (line 23600 of his or her return) for 51106.
Oh! Sorry. I didn’t look up the line number…just assumed you were adjusting the field for the “yes/no” question. If CRA told you to put $1 for the “dependant’s net income” it may be simply to force their software to recognize the change. Theoretically, if the dependant’s net income is zero, that field should be a zero, but we have to accommodate CRA’s software bugs (bad programming).
