I split with my common law partner in January 2022. I have no way of contacting her to get her tax information for the year. How do i proceed?

If you don’t have any information about your ex, do not enter your exes income (or an estimate), it’s important that you do not claim the Spousal Amount.

To avoid claiming the Spousal Amount, complete the following instructions:

1. Select Find (or the magnifying glass icon).
2. Enter information in the Find window.
3. Select Information About Your Spouse or Common-Law Partner from the list of results, and then select Go.

The Now, let’s get [name’s] information step appears.

1. Fill out the form in TurboTax.
2. Select Continue.

The Tell us more about [name] step appears.

1. Complete the following instructions that match your situation:
   • If your spouse’s net income is more than $1, select No where it says Was [name’s] net income for 20xx zero? Then enter $25,000 where it says Net income from [name]’s 20xx federal tax return.
   • If your spouse’s net income is $1 or less, select Yes where it says Was [name’s] net income for 20xx zero?

Note: Entering $25,000 won’t affect the outcome of your return; it simply makes you ineligible for the Spousal Amount.

1. Select No where it says Are you claiming the spousal amount?
2. Fill out the rest of the form in TurboTax.
3. Select Continue.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
