What I believe is irrelevant to the issue. What's important is that the Sadducees believed Tobit was scripture, and Jesus apparently thought so, too, since His reply to them referred to it.

I don't nor does Judaism consider it canonical.
Currently, that is probably true. But again, irrelevant. The relevant question is whether the average 1st-century Jew, particularly the Sadducees, considered it to be scripture. Evidence says they did.
