Tax Tip
In some cases, it may be better for you to report all the taxable dividends your spouse's or common-law partner received from taxable Canadian corporations. You can do this only if, by including the dividends in your income, you will be able to claim or increase your claim for the spouse or common-law partner amount (line 303 on Schedule 1).
If you use this option, you may be able to take better advantage of the dividendtax credit. Do not include these dividends in your spouse or common-law partnersincome when you calculate claims such as the spouse or common-law partner amounton line 303 or amounts transferred from your spouse or common-law partner onSchedule 2.
