We are just common-law and what does claiming a spousal amount mean?

    Common-law and married are treated the same for tax purposes. So while you don't have to claim the spousal amount, there's no reason not to claim it if you qualify for it. 

     

    For more information about the spousal amount, please see this Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) page: Line 30300 - Spouse or common-law partner amount
