Found Bug in software re Ontario Staycation Credit

Cannot find anywhere on website to report bugs in the software!?

I am using TurboTax Standard 2022 for Canada

Ontario has a Staycation Tax Credit that gives  you a credit that "applies to leisure stays between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022, regardless of the timing of payment for the stays. "  We stayed in a hotel on December 31. In the software, you  have to enter the "from" and "to" dates, but it will not accept January 1 as the checkout date, even though this is a valid stay according to Ontario.ca website.  My work-around is to simply enter the stay as being from December 30 to 31. However, technically, this is a false statement. I have printed out screen shots of the error, just in case I get audited by the CRA 😀.

As you said, only stays between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022 are allowed. So, you can’t claim the part of your expense from January 1, 2023, only the part from December 31, 2022.
