I have a Client who was separated March 20,2020 from his common-law spouse. I am trying to complete his tax return for 2020 and the spouse is still on the tax summary how do I get her off there?

Hi, thank you for using Intuit ProFile Community

If the marital status is not married or living common-law December 31, the return should not be coupled. Select uncouple from the file menu to uncouple the returns. Then remove the spousal information from the spouse section of the Info tab. These steps should remove the spouse information from the T1summary. You can also check schedule 2 to make sure there are no entries there unless required for the return. Information like eligibility for disability credit and income can be found there.

Hope this helps
