Carry forward from previous years for newly married

My son and daughter-in-law got married this year (2022), they were previously living common law and I did individual returns for them both.  This year I changed their marital status to married, but I'm not sure how to do a joint return for them.  How do I get turbotax to do the carry forward amounts (RRSP deduction room etc.) for both of them once I put them on a joint return?

Unfortunately, you will only be able to get the automatic transfers/carry forwards for the one whom you start with and the other you will need to enter the amounts manually. 

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
