Turbotax puts Quebec tuition transfer credits on wife's return instead of mine

phys39

On son's return return, the credit is transferred to me. That's how I entered it on my wife and I's common return. However turbotax gives the Quebec tuition credits to my wife, contrary to what I selected. The federal credits are correctly transferred to me. This error results in a lower refund for us.

In order to assist you properly, can you tell us which version of TurboTax you are using; Online or Desktop?

If you are using TurboTax Desktop

In Forms mode - under your name

Click on Dependent tool (in the top blue tool box)
In the column for the Dependent, make sure tuition transfer is entered and also verify who is claiming it

Click on Forms tab at the bottom of your page // Select Schedule A
In part D line 70, you should have the provincial amount

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

I'm using the desktop version.

The correct person is already selected in the dependant tool. As I said, the federal tuition amount goes to the correct claimant. The Quebec tuition amount still goes to the other spouse. So this is a bug.

The only way I was able to fix this bug was using the F2 override directly on QC Schedule A (of both spouses, which was annoying).
