Not understanding the 2022 ontario trillium benefit

Hello,

I am currently doing my taxes and I am now at the section about the 2022 Ontario trillium benefits.

 

You may qualify for the 2022 Ontario Trillium Benefit:  There are two sections and the first line is where I am unclear "Rent or property tax for your principal residence in Ontario was paid by or for you in 2021,"

  • Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit (OEPTC)
  • Northern Ontario Energy Credit (NOEC)

 

  • Does this mean that we paid the taxes for the home that we own and live in and do I select yes for both my spouse and me?
  • On the next page, it says "Enter the amount(s) paid for rent, property tax, home energy costs for a principal residence on a reserve, and/or accommodation in a public long-term care home.   Enter the information on the return of the spouse who will claim the credits. 
  • Do I just fill out the address, and property taxes paid for 2021?

I am unsure about this whole section.

 

Thanks in advance!

Even though I checked all the right boxes for the OETPC (property tax benefit) and filled in the tax amount, line 61020 on form ON=BEN is not getting checked off and I am not getting the Trillium bennefit. If I check the box manually I get $752.00 back. This has happened on 2 different taxes that I prepare. Looks like a Turbox tax error.

@Piperno6 Are you able to check it off yourself?

Yes. I checked off the form. I am worried for all the others who think they are not getting the benefit and don't have the knowledge to investigate at the form level. My phone calls to Turbotax  have been useless since their automated messaging does not understand my issue. The page where the benefit is addressed changed from the previous year. I suspect Turbotax introduced a bug.
