Question 2 

Carlisle and Esme are married and successfully completed an adoption in 2019 for Rosalie, a 2-year-old, spending $21,000 in 2019 on eligible adoption expenses in the process. 

Carlisle is a young teacher in a rural town who operates a lawn maintenance business during the summer months. He has provided you with the following information: 

2019 2018 Teaching employment see T4 82,000 Health/dental plan premiums paid by Carlisle see T4 (box 85) 900 Dividends on public co shares (cash received) see T3 3,000 Net income from lawn maintenance business 12,000 1,000 Capital gain on sale of public co shares 18,000 - Capital loss on sale of mutual fund units (14,000) - Capital loss on shares of private co (qualifies as SBC) (15,000) - 

Carlisle makes annual spousal and child support payments to his ex-wife in the amounts of $6,000 and $10,000 respectively. 

Carlisle had unused RRSP contribution room from the prior year of $10,000. He made RRSP contributions of $16,000 in April 2019 and withdrew the $30,000 total he had in his RRSP five months later to purchase his first home. Carlisle has used $6,000 of his capital gain exemption in the past to eliminate capital gains on small business investments. Carlisle also spends 250 hours of time in the year as a volunteer firefighter in his rural community. He does not receive any income for these services. Carlisle and Esme have unused federal tuition amounts being carried-forward of $4,000 and $6,000 respectively. 

Esme is employed at a local marketing company (see T4). She had accumulated significant vacation time over the last few years and so took 2 months off when Rosalie arrived, but returned to work after that and Rosalie entered daycare. Daycare costs amounted to $10,000 in 2019, and an additional $2,000 was spent on food/clothing/supplies for Rosalie. Esme has limited investments but did contribute $5,000 to her TFSA in 2019. She also made donations of $300.
