Rent assist Manitoba

How to enter rent assist benefits into turbotax? I used to be able to enter the total rent amount paid in one box, then in a different box I enter the rent assist benefits I received. This year, there is no specific space or box for the rent assist amount received. Any idea how to claim the rent assist ? 
thanks

For 2022, you do not need to enter your Manitoba rent assist payment on your tax return. 

 

 

 

You can see the actual 2022 MB479 form here: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/tax-packages-years/general-income-tax-benefit-package/manitoba/5007-tc.html

@Raelenerob You don't need to enter your rent assist info for 2022.
