Option for which spouse receives the Climate Action Incentive on 2021 Tax Return no longer available

In the 2020 version of Profile, I could select which spouse receives the Climate Action Incentive by checking a box-this is not available in the 2021 version...Profile is assigning it-can this be changed?

no longer part of your refund. paid quarterly to the spouse who's return is assessed first.

hi,, I knew it was a quarterly payment, I just wanted to know if it could be directed to a specific spouse like you might direct a GST or Child Tax Benefit....

i don't believe so. the return that's assessed first, gets it.

The spouses tax returns will be processed separately. The spouse wants to have the other to receive the Climate Action Incentive quarterly instead, how can I do that in Profile? Thank you

just a suggestion but because cra gives the credit to the spouse that is processed first maybe you could send one and then wait a few days to send the other one? not sure if it will work but worth a try? good old cra they love to mess us up!

Thank you, I read that too at CRA website. I just told my client who ever submitted the return first, be the one to get the CAI quarterly.
