• You filed your 2021 taxes

  
  
  If you were new to Canada
  

  If you were not a resident of Canada in 2021, you may not have been able to file a Canadian tax return for that year.

  You met the 2021 tax filing criteria if you submitted a statement of income for 2021 when you applied for the CCB.

  If you had a spouse or common-law partner in the same situation, they also needed to submit a statement of income to have met the tax filing criteria.

• 
  

  Your spouse or common-law partner filed their 2021 taxes

  You did not have a spouse or common-law partner as of December 1, 2022

• Your adjusted family net income was less than $90,000 in 2021

  
  
  How your adjusted family net income is calculated

  The CRA calculates your adjusted family net income (AFNI) based on your 2021 tax return. If you had a spouse or common-law partner, their 2021 tax information will be included in the calculation.

  You do not need to calculate this number. If your AFNI was less than $90,000 in 2021, you should see the option to apply in your CRA My Account.

  If you want to estimate your AFNI

  For this benefit only, include your spouse or common-law partner's amounts if you were married or living common-law on December 1, 2022.

  Steps to calculate your 2021 AFNI

  • Your 2021 net income (line 23600)
  • plus Your spouse or common-law partner's 2021 net income (line 23600)
  • plus Your 2021 world income (if applicable)
  • equals Your 2021 family net income

  • Your 2021 family net income
  • minus 2021 RDSP and UCCB payments to you or your spouse or common-law partner (line 11700 and line 12500)
  • plus 2021 RDSP and UCCB repayments from you or your spouse or common-law partner (line 21300 and line 23200)
  • equals Your 2021 adjusted family net income (AFNI)
