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 šŸ˜€.

As you said, only stays between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022 are allowed. So, you canā€™t claim the part of your expense from January 1, 2023, only the part from December 31, 2022.
