How do I report my spouse's income as $15000?

I want to avoid claiming spousal credit ($0 on line 303) by reporting my non-resident spouse's income as $15000. How do I do that? I am using the online version. Should I report it as 'Other Income'?


I was sent this in a previous answer to my question (https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/questions/1842838-my-spouse-is-non-resident-and-is-self-employed-in-our-home-country-how-do-i-report-income-and-status?jump_to=answer_3837062). However there is no option to report 'Net income' in the online tool that I can see.

On the left side menu, choose Additional Information about [Spouse’s Name] from under My Info.

Answer No to the question “Was [Spouse’s Name]'s net income for 2018 zero?”. Then you can put in $15,000 for their Net Income.
