Why is reduction for dependent children (line 6269/61 ON428) on spouse's return. I have more ON tax payable ($492 vs $214). Double click but cannot see how to change.

My line 59 from ON428 is $491.  My spouse's is $214.  But the program put the Reduction for dependent children born in 2000 or later line 6269/61 on my spouse's return.  Would it not be more beneficial on my return?  Says to double click to change but when I double click I cannot see how to change which return the reduction is put on.

After you file

The amounts on lines 61 and 62 of ON428 can only be claimed by the spouse with the higher net income.  

Sometimes due to a difference in non-refundable credits, the person with the higher net income is not the one with more taxes payable.
