Turbotax puts Quebec tuition transfer credits on wife's return instead of mine

On son's return return, the credit is transferred to me. That's how I entered it on my wife and I's common return. However turbotax gives the Quebec tuition credits to my wife, contrary to what I selected. The federal credits are correctly transferred to me. This error results in a lower refund for us.

In order to assist you properly, can you tell us which version of TurboTax you are using; Online or Desktop?

 

If you are using TurboTax Desktop

In Forms mode - under your name

  • Click on Dependent tool (in the top blue tool box)
  • In the column for the Dependent, make sure tuition transfer is entered and also verify who is claiming it 

 

 

  • Click on Forms tab at the bottom of your page // Select Schedule A
  • In part D line 70, you should have the provincial amount 

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

I'm using the desktop version.

 

The correct person is already selected in the dependant tool. As I said, the federal tuition amount goes to the correct claimant. The Quebec tuition amount still goes to the other spouse. So this is a bug.

 

The only way I was able to fix this bug was using the F2 override directly on QC Schedule A (of both spouses, which was annoying).
