I have a pension T4RIF ($40K) and so does my wife. ($8K).   When I choose to pension split half of my pension, $20K gets added to her return as income, but my pension amount stays the same when looking at the detailed summary.  Shouldn't mine go down by $20K?

Also, when I split her $8K pension the optimizer tells me to split $175 and it adds that to my pension.  When I split my $40K pension, it tells me to add $2.02 to her return.

Doesn't seem to make sense?
