T2222 form. I claim 366 days for 2016 for myself, and want to claim 366 days additional for spouse, but TTax only lets me enter 365 days. 2016 was a leap year!

There is a bug on T2222, Northern Residents deduction, due to 2016 being a leap year.

I am a resident of a prescribed "A" zone area from Jan 1, 2016 to Dec 31, 2016

In doing the form,  I claim 366 days for 2016 for myself (by entering my dates, it's automatic), and want to claim 366 days for additional for spouse by entering 366 days in "additional", but it does not allow me.   Pops up message saying maximum 365, enter between 0 and 365.  I am allowed 366.

My spouse is not claiming Northern Living, as I am (I'm higher income).

I should be able to enter 366, not 365. 2016 was a leap year..

Please perform a software update, this error was resolved to adjust to 366 days.

Thanks, works properly now in the 2016 software.  Only $11 to me,, but many northern residents  would have been affected.   As it's a deduction, makes sense for a two person married household to have the higher income spouse deduct it.
