Roger Armstrong (D.O.B. 1967-01-01) is an insurance broker who has been very successful at his job in the last few years.

Three years ago, his only child, Victoria, was driving a car that was hit by a distracted driver. She and her husband were killed, and their 13-year-old son, Geoffrey, was blinded by the accident. Roger and his wife, Isabella, adopted Geoffrey. Isabella quit her part-time job to care for him.

Isabella’s parents went through a nasty separation a few years ago, and Rita moved in with Roger and Isabella. Isabella’s father’s (Michael) current location is unknown, but it is believed that he is living somewhere in the Baltic. Isabella cares for her mother, Rita, who lives with them. Rita suffers from dementia. The family doctor has signed a letter stating that she is dependent on Roger and Isabella because of her impairment. Rita does not meet the residency requirements necessary to qualify for Canadian Old Age Security.

In addition to his salary, Roger also earns commissions. His employer requires him to have an office in his home and has signed the form T2200 each year to this effect. In January 2018, Michael was arrested in Estonia. Isabella had to spend three weeks in Estonia before she could get him released from jail. During this time, Roger paid Nannies on Call $5,000 for in-home help to take care of Geoffrey while Isabella was away.

During the year, Roger’s employer reimbursed $4,000 for meals and entertainment with clients, $3,500 for hotels, and $6,000 for airline tickets. Roger paid $800 for the care and feeding of Geoffrey’s seeing-eye dog. During the year, Isabella and Roger made donations of $5,000 and $1,000, respectively, to the Seeing Eye Dog Society.
