I have a couple that are living common law and they just bought a home. The mortgage and home is in her name but when I enter the amount it want to report the credit on his return not hers. I have split their returns but am wondering how to overcome this problem.

On the page called Credits, about 1/3 of the way down, you can enter if the person is eligible and the split to claim between the two.
it appears to work correct for co-worker in splitting the amount 50/50 but cannot do the same for spouse unless user changes Yes to No on the optimization worksheet under HBA .
