The year 2020 was a time of change and turmoil for many people, especially Hilary. Although she was laid off and forced to retired, nevertheless, it was a very good financial year for her, earning some sweet capital gains and other investment income.

As she had turned 65 in 2020, she also started to collect the federal Old Age Security pension, as well as company pension income from her ex-employer.

Nevertheless, just to keep busy, she found a small part-time employment, helping children cross the street. As she only earned a modest $3,400, the employer did not have to make any income tax withholdings from this salary income.

Hilary, who is divorced, needs as much income as possible because she has a large extended family to support. Its one big happy family consisting of the following members:

Billie is her 12-year son, who is not certified with a disability, but in fact, is considered by his doctors, to be infirm. In spite of his condition, Billie earned net income of $2,500 in 2020.

Willie is her 20-year old son, who is in good health and in full time attendance at Concordia. Hillary has paid Willies modest tuition fees of only $3,000. In 2020, Willie had a summer employment income of $5.500 and received scholarships of $10,000. Like any good son would do, Willie has agreed to transfer any available education related tax credits to his mom.

Nellie is Hillarys 4-year old adopted child, whose official adoption papers were finalized last year. Unfortunately, soon after the adoption, she was diagnosed to have Downs Syndrome. This condition is considered to be an infirmity.

Popi is Hillarys 80-year-old father who lives with Hillary. Apart from being on the usual medications, and considering his age, he is in excellent health. In 2020, he earned the Old Age Security pension and other modest income resulting in a net income of $10,000.

Maddie is Hillarys 75-year old mother who also lives with her and is dependant on her. Maddie is disabled, specifically, she is blind but otherwise, in perfect health. In 2020, her net income for tax purposes was $18,860
