I am trying to update my marital status on my return from common-law to married. The form for this does not allow me to continue and therefore update the status. Help!

This is a program issue, there is a broken loop that will not allow me to update the marital status on the return. I also cannot manually add in T4 or T5 details. I've tried using a different browser, and that does not help.

Can you please provide more information about your problem? Are you preparing your return just for yourself or with a spouse? What happens when you try to change the status or add a tslip?

I am preparing a joint return for my spouse and I. We filed joint last year as common-law and it worked just fine. We married during 2024 and so when the program prompts whether there were changes to your relationship status during 2024 I selected that we got married. When it gets to that “form” it has the current status of common-law, with the option to select Married. As soon as you select Married, it takes away the “Continue” button in the bottom right corner. I assume that that function would populate again after filling out the date of marriage and the previous marital status reported. But when both of those things are filled out properly, the “Continue” button does not populate. I have even tried not selecting that we got married and editing the relationship status when reviewing personal information, but the same issue persists.
