You will see the following error message in H&R Block’s tax software if you entered a value that exceeds the maximum federal age amount permitted by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on the Amounts from {Spouse’s} 2017 return page:

Your spouse’s or common-law partner’s federal age amount can’t be higher than $7,225.00. Make sure you entered the age amount shown on his/her 2017 Schedule 1 correctly. [error code: 141]

How do I fix this?

Go to the Amounts from {Spouse’s} 2017 return page under the OTHER icon on the PREPARE tab and enter the correct age amount as shown on your spouse’s or common-law partner’s federal Schedule 1 into your tax return.
