Question

When I enter all the information about income, I am wondering why my Social assistance income is showing under my common law partner tax profile instead of mine?

And since my social assistance income is showing under my common law partner tax profile instead of mine it shows an error that I have no income.

    As per the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) "However, if you lived with your spouse or common-law partner when you received the social assistance payments or provincial or territorial supplements, the spouse or common-law partner with the higher net income has to report this amount. If you and your spouse or common-law partner have the same net income, the person whose name is on the slip has to report this amount.

    The spouse or common-law partner who reports this amount as income can claim an equivalent deduction on line 25000."
