I have a new client who came on a work permit, and he has his wife and child with him. Both wife and child have visitor status. Now, of course, he is supporting them. Should I have their information as spouse and dependent? If I say he is supporting his spouse on Schedule 2, it triggers credits from his spouse to him. Am I missing anything here? I don’t think we can claim credits from the spouse, as she is in visitor status, right? Any suggestions? Please and thanks
You have not said anything about what you have done to determine tax residency?
This return cannot be done without first determining the tax residency issues.
Tax treaties and so on should be reviewed, as well as detailed file facts.
