You can claim the spouse or common-law amount if you supported your spouse or common-law partner at any time during the year and their net income was less than their basic personal amount.

For more information, please visit the link: Spousal or common-law Partner Amount

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Line 30300: Spouse or common-law partner amount

TurboTax automatically claims this amount for you if you are eligible.

It's calculated based on you and your spouse/partner's combined net income, so it's important to enter your spouse/partner's income (enter 0) into your return, whether you're preparing your returns together in TurboTax or not.

Unlike the TurboTax CD/Download version, the TurboTax Online version does not have the form view with the Line 30300: Spouse or common-law partner amount as seen below in Schedule 5. You may recognize some of the questions you answered during the My Info interview.
