Hi there,
I never used this tax forum but I use immigration one quite a lot and I find this forums very helpful. I have kind of silly question but I thought I will good to get your opinion on it if I may. I'm sponsoring my husband from Canada so he's been living with me here over a year now. Somebody told me that I can write off living expenses for him since he is not working while we are in the middle of getting his permanet status. So my question to you is can I do that even though he doesn't have SIN or no? If no can I do it next year when he has SIN? If you could answer my question for me that would be really greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
Thanks Nelsona but I have one more question for you if you don't mind. So do I need to do something different than that I used to before as a single person or do I just let my accountant know that I won't to claim him as my dependent?
Thanks for your promt reply.
