Annual Income Estimates for Census Families and Individuals (T1 Family File)

Deduction and benefit of census family, value

Deduction and benefit refers to amounts of money that are paid as premium or received as benefits from programs to the tax filers. These programs include, among others, Employment insurance, pension plans or union fees.

Census family is defined as a married couple and the children, if any, of either and/or both spouses; a couple living common law and the children, if any, of either and/or both partners; or a lone parent of any marital status with at least one child living in the same dwelling and that child or those children. All members of a particular census family live in the same dwelling. A couple may be of opposite or same sex. Children may be children by birth, marriage, common-law union or adoption regardless of their age or marital status as long as they live in the dwelling and do not have their own married spouse, common-law partner or child living in the dwelling. Grandchildren living with their grandparent(s) but with no parents present also constitute a census family.
