Hey guys,
So according to CRA, a person could claim this amount if during any time of the year, the person live by him/herself (no spouse nor common law) and receive no support. This seems to be a bit of a grey area because it does not determine any specific length of time. For example, for the year 2023 marital status is Common Law, however, previous status is Separated/Single/Divorce => the client can still claim the Eligible Dependent regardless of the Date of change of the marital status. I tried to input Jan 01 2022 was when the status changed and the client still got the whole credit amount of Eligible Dependent.
