If your child's other parent (not your current partner) receives the Canada Child Benefit (CCB), here's what you need to know when using Wealthsimple Tax:

1. Ignore CCB references:
   • Disregard any calculated CCB benefit shown in the Summary section
   • You will not receive this amount
2. Reporting your children:
   • Still report your children as dependants in your tax return
   • This ensures you receive other applicable credits and deductions
3. No impact on current CCB recipient:
   • Using Wealthsimple Tax will not change who receives the CCB
   • The current recipient will continue to receive the benefit

Important notes:

• Wealthsimple Tax doesn't know that someone else receives the CCB for your child(ren)
• The calculated CCB amount is for information purposes only
• Your tax return does not determine CCB eligibility or recipient

Remember:

• Keep your child's information up to date in your tax return
• If your situation changes, update your information with the CRA separately from your tax return

If you have questions about your eligibility for child-related benefits or credits, consider consulting the CRA's child and family benefits page. For assistance entering dependant information in Wealthsimple Tax, please contact Wealthsimple support.
