How to change who receive family allowance

Hello,

I've pretty much completed filing all my and my wife's tax information and was reviewing information before sending it.

My wife had no income this year for personal reason and I was the sole income, but we wanted the family allowance to go to her. Somehow, Turbotax choose to have me receive the amount. I can't figure out where to change it.

Anyone knows where to fix this?

Missing information, we're Québec resident and I'm talking about  the Family allowance which turbotax describe this way:

What is Family Allowance (Québec child assistance payments)?

Family Allowance was previously called Québec child assistance payments. This is a form of financial assistance paid to all eligible families with one or more dependent children under the age of 18 living with them.
