T5007 - Social Assistant Amount not showing in final T1 Tax Form

I am filing tax returns for my folks. They need to file separately instead of a joint tax return due to me claiming one of them as the dependent amount.

We have entered both their T5007 in the income section but when it comes to the final review of the T1 Form. We noticed the Social Assistant Amount (T5007) is not showing. Is there a way to manually override it?

In the Review Warnings section, the following message makes me suspect the system automatically removed the T5007 amount. If this is the case, it removed the T5007 on both tax returns.

"Social assistance benefits from a T5007 slip should generally be reported on the return of the higher income spouse/partner. We have automatically adjusted your return. Confirm your spouse/partner's return reports the T5007 income."

If your parents received one T5007 for both, the information slip can only be claimed by one of them which is why the software may be picking this up. The information cannot be split onto separate returns between the two of them. The higher income parent has to claim the whole amount if there is only one T5007. If you still believe it to be an error, we believe your best option is to contact our telephone support team for further assistance please call 1-888-829-8608.
