Marital status

Since TaxCycle allows you to enter the date of change for marital status, II triggered this dialogue with Mark @ TaxCycle:

Does the ‘Date of change’ for Marital upload to CRA’s computer or do the recently wed, etc. (in 2018) still have to submit an RC65?

Reply: We only include the marital status indicator not the date of change.

I am preparing an RC65 as always.

I have spoken to the CRA. The Date of Marital Change does not upload to the CRA’s computers.

They ALWAYS need the RC65 to record that date. Failure to provide will result in them choosing the most advantageous (to them) date for the change.
