I can not get TurboTax to allow both of us to repay our HBP. It will only allow me and not my wife! How can I get it to accept repayment from both of us?

This is the 4th year it has not let us both repay our HBP and I am tired of trying to "fix" the program...

Had both you and your spouse made contributions to your own respective RRSPs?  In order to be able to show repayment towards your HBP you would have to purchase rrsps on your own name.  If your spouse makes the purchase, whether they were towards your own rrsps or not, you are not able to use those contributions for your own repayment.

Quick question - Did both of you make RRSP withdrawals as part of the HBP program?

Yes, we both made RRSP withdrawals using the HBP program.
