Ontario Senior at home tax credit

Is anyone having trouble with Turbo Tax not transferring the spouses income to ON479.  This results in /turbo Tax overestimating the credit. I don't see anyway to correct this. When I double click the field where the spouses income should be entered, it takes me to the spousal information screen. The incomes already entered there, the problem is it is not transferring to ON479 form. I am using the desk top version, but the same thing happens when I  use the online web version.  I entered this issue into google, it seems other people are reporting this problem. Turbo tax does transfer the spousal income to ON428 for calculations done there.

As per the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)

If you had a spouse or common-law partner who died before December 31, 2025, and who was 69 years of age or older on December 31, 2024, you can claim this credit regardless of your age, if you meet all of the other conditions above. In that situation, do not enter their net income on line 8 of Form ON479. If your spouse or common-law partner died on December 31, 2025, include their net income in the calculation of your family's net income on line 8 of Form ON479.
