I am using the turbotax online. I am wondering to know by entering the childcare receipt through the online process how there is no difference on Refile return and original return

When claiming child care expenses on your tax return, TurboTax automatically attributes these expenses to the spouse with the lower net income, as required by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) (when filing a joint return).

However, the spouse with the higher net income can claim the expenses of the spouse with the lower net income met one or more of the CRA’s exceptions during the tax year.
