Spouse % of a T5 not working

Turbo Tax 2024... I enter some T5's, split 50/50 with spouse. Say that total is $10,000. It puts $10,000 on EACH T1. It should be $5,000 on each T1

Are you just looking at the T5 summary? Because that will show the total amounts that were put in the boxes. The division will happen on the T1, which you can see a summary of in the Detailed Tax Summary.

I deleted all my t5's and re-entered them.

 

The 50/50 issue on went away on Interest but NOT dividend.

 

Interestingly, after much research, the issue is..

 

When I enter T5 Dividend income, the system is ALSO putting it on the T1 Worksheet as an Eligible Dividend that I did NOT get a slip for. This happened the first time I entered them and after deleting all t5's and reentering them, it did it AGAIN. Therefore the income is getting reported twice which was why I initially thought the issue was with the 50% to spouse field. 

 

To fix, I manually deleted the number from the T1 Worksheet. Had I not reconciled Turbo TAxto my input, I never would have caught this.
