How do enter spouse with impairment as an independent?

When using TurboTax Self employed, click on the heading titled Setting up and select Additional Information about your spouse.  Answer Yes to the question, Is your spouse dependent on you because of a mental or physical impairment?  In the profile section, be sure to put a checkmark next to "My spouse has credits that they will not be using and can be transferred to me".  In the deductions section, put a checkmark next to " Disability amount transfer from a dependant" and answer Yes to "Would you like to review or claim any of these credits?"  When you get to the section, Details of Your Federal Spousal or Common-law Partner Transfers, enter the disability claim for your spouse.

How do enter spouse with impairment as an independent?

Thank you, Mary Ann.  I can't find the option "additional information on spouse" in the setting.  I'm using self employed TurboTax version.
