If the spousal amount isn't appearing on line 30300 of your Schedule 1, despite being on Schedule 5, follow these steps to resolve the issue:

1. Enter your partner's income:
   • For linked returns: Enter income in your partner's Wealthsimple Tax profile
   • For unlinked returns: Enter your partner's income in the Your Partner section
2. Confirm no income for your partner:
   • Go to the Review & Optimize section in your Wealthsimple Tax profile
   • Click the Review & Optimize button
   • Confirm your partner has no income when prompted

For partners who immigrated to Canada this year:

For linked profiles:

• Ensure your partner has answered these questions in their Personal information > About Your Residency section:
  1. Net income for the part of the year they weren't a resident of Canada
  2. Net income for the part of the year they were a resident of Canada

For unlinked profiles:

• Complete the immigration-related fields in the Your Partner section of your profile

If the credit still doesn't appear, check these potential issues:

For linked returns:

• Ensure you've clicked the Review & Optimize button in both profiles
• If both returns show a positive amount on Schedule 5, only the higher-income person can claim it

For unlinked returns:

• Verify you haven't checked the box in the Your Partner section indicating you won't report your partner's income

Additional considerations:

• You can't claim both a spousal amount and an eligible dependant amount
• Verify your eligibility to claim an eligible dependant before filing your return

Québec residents:

• The checkbox for not reporting your partner's income isn't available

If line 30300 shows $0:

1. You may not be eligible for the partner amount due to your prorated base amount and your partner's net income for their period of Canadian residency
2. Check Schedule 5 in the Summary > Documents section for details

Remember:

• The spousal amount calculation depends on accurate income reporting
• Review both profiles (if linked) to ensure optimal allocation
• Immigration status can affect eligibility and calculations
