If you are not preparing the tax returns together in Turbo Tax (Linked) make sure to answer the question in your Profile area. In Turbo Tax Desk Top software this can be found under the menu on the left hand side of easy steps. Click through to “are there other deductions such as…” (See screen shot).
Then as you advance through the return the appropriate screen will open. Or you can access this screen under the “Deductions & Credits” section, “Other Deductions” the correct box should be checked (See screen shot).
You will then have the opportunity to add information pertaining to your spouse and available to transfer to yourself.
No this does not help. I don't actually have any credits or deductions to transfer which is why I didn't go into that section in my profile. The "No" checkbox on the completed form should be checked but it is not. I don't know if this really matters to CRA, but when I look at a PDF and both Yes/No are unchecked it seems rather odd.
If an option for a YES/NO answer is not supplied on any schedule the default sent to CRA is no. Sorry for any confusion when viewing the actual forms.
