Consider last week’s <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">U.S. jobs report</a>: 303,000 jobs added, wages still climbing, the 39th straight month of growth, and no inflationary pressure in sight. No wonder Wall Street is “<a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">borderline speechless</a>.” (Canadian hiring was <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">a bit weaker in March</a>, but not enough <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">to buck the positive trend</a>.) The S&P and Nasdaq are both up 10% on the year, and the TSX is now up 7% — all at or near all-time highs. Bloomberg’s Odd Lots newsletter is calling this stretch “<a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">the long boom</a>.” But is a reality check coming soon?

Why does cohabiting help you get ahead?

And, according to Peltz, the studio stumbled by making “<a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">woke</a>” movies, like <em>Black Panther </em>(which was a huge hit), and not firing people fast enough to cut costs. (Iger canned 7,000 employees last spring.) To keep Iger in the C-Suite, the Disney board spent US$40 million to run ads comparing <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">Peltz to Pinocchio</a>.

And if you got hitched or had a kid <em>prior</em> to 2023, you’d be wise to read on to make sure you’re maximizing your deductions, because not overpaying the government is a sure way to build wealth. You can also check out <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">a longer version of this article</a>, which has pointers for folks who are heading off to university or bought a home. Let’s get to it:<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>Scenario #1: You’ve Shacked Up With Your Significant Other<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span></strong>The big perk of marriage (besides companionship, etc.) is that you and your partner can share tax credits and benefits. Couples in a <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">common-law relationship</a> can do the same. In either case, you’ll need to <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">update your relationship status</a> with the Canada Revenue Agency (and with Revenu Québec if you live in the province). Why bother? Because cohabiting couples can…<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span>[1] claim the pooled charitable donations and pooled medical expenses amounts on whichever partner’s return will provide optimal savings (probably the higher earner).<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span>[2] transfer unused credits for things like age, Canada caregiver, disability, pension, and tuition amounts. If you haven’t used them and your partner can, you can pass them along. The annual cap is $2,000 for pension transfers and $5,000 for tuition transfers.<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span>[3] split pension income to take advantage of different marginal tax rates and reduce overall income taxes.<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span>[4] claim any remaining credit from one partner’s Basic Personal Amount on the other partner’s return.<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>Scenario #2: Your Family Got Bigger<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span></strong>Adding a child to your family means less sleep, more stress, and discovering just how much more room there is in your heart than you expected. And tax breaks! A few of the biggies: <span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span>PRE-STORK TAX BREAKS<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>[1] Medical expenses. </strong>Ultrasounds, IVF treatments, fertility-related prescriptions, prenatal and postnatal treatments, hospital services — you can claim all sorts of birth-related expenses.<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>[2] Adoption expenses. </strong>You can currently claim a federal credit of up to $18,210 in adoption-related expenses, and many provinces offer additional credits, so be sure to check.<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span>POST-STORK TAX BREAKS<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>[1] Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). </strong>This is a<strong> </strong>tax-advantaged account to help save for university. The government will match — that’s right, <em>match</em> — 20% of contributions up to $2,500 a year, for a lifetime total of up to $7,200. <span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>[2] Regional grants. </strong>If you live in Quebec, <em>félicitations</em>: the provincial government will kick in a match of 10% of your RESP contributions, up to a max of $250. Other provinces, like B.C., offer similar RESP gifts. <span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>[3] Canada Learning Bond (CLB). </strong>Children of eligible low-income families can receive a $500 deposit in their RESP from the government the first year it’s opened. Then, every year after that until they turn 15, they’ll get an additional $100, up to a maximum $2,000 benefit. <span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>[4] Canada Child Benefit (CCB). </strong>Depending on your income, marital status, and kid’s age, you may qualify for up to $7,437 per child per year in tax-free support. You can apply for this benefit when registering a birth in your province or territory or online through your CRA My Account. <span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span>OK! That’s probably all you can stand reading about taxes in one sitting. Good luck!</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" class="section-divider" style="font-family:FuturaPT,Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
