How do I share the amounts for dependants between spouses?

In order to make the sharing between spouses of amounts pertaining to dependants more flexible, a group of keywords beginning with the keyword Transfer-OV was created. Note that this keyword must be entered in the file of the dependant.

This group of keywords allows you to do the following:

  • share between spouses various amounts pertaining to dependants
  • determine which of the children you wish to claim as equivalent to spouse
  • determine which of the children you wish to claim first on schedule A
  • determine which of the children you wish to designate for purposes of schedule P
  • control the transfer of medical expenses
  • control the claim of dependant amounts by supporting persons
