According to this page on the CRA site ... you enter the full value ... but I've found what has happened ... The difference in the amount was transferred to MY return. These spousal transfers are a REAL PAIN IN THE NECK when you have no obvious control over them and in some cases when you appear to have control, those controls don't work properly. Although the results work, what I fear is that it will be another dose of interminable reviews ... for the next year or so, starting with Revenue forgetting again that I have PoA because my wife (whose investments earn the money!) is in a home with Alzheimer's. As much as I like Ufile, I may have to change next year ... I've spent days sorting out problems because there's no direct reference from the return back to the Interview and help only takes you to the CRA information!

I entered the full amount of medical expenses into the interview, and going back over the interview shows the correct number. BUT the Return shows a different amount ... although the amount it put there brings my tax to Zero. Very confusing even though it is of no impact! There are a number of things like this that I'd call bugs in this year's Ufile. (Like generating spousal transfers of $0 for each spouse!)

I solved it! I realized that the Age Amount transfer each way was $0.00!!!! So just ignored it!

Well, I moved it from Foreign Pension to Foreign Income section and it removes the spousal transfer which is a step in the right direction. Now I have other spousal transfers that shouldn't be there or needn't be there! I am transferring to my wife and my wife is transferring to me the same things! (Age amount) Next time I'm gonna get the full tax kit on paper to get a better grasp ... the disconnect between Ufile's interview and the actual return is very frustrating!

It's driving me nuts ... I have a UK Old Age Pension ... as soon as I enter that, UFile insists on doing a transfer from spouse ... except there's no evidence on my spouse's return that her income was reduced! Remove that Pension and the transfer goes away. The crazy part is that to my understanding that isn't eligible to be transferred anyway!

I tried manually assigning it in controls but it wouldn't work either way around. So, I let Maxback decide and voila ... it gave it to the person with the highest income
