Why am I not prompted to claim Nova Scotia Children's Sports and Arts Refundable Tax Credit for 2022, event though I have children and live in NS?

This shows up in the "What's new in taxes section", but I'm never seeing it as an option to claim against, even though Turbotax is recognizing that I have children and live in NS. I am seeing the CAI, which will be new to NS this year, so clearly new benefits are there...

    In Easy Step mode the Nova Scotia Children's Sports and Arts Credit is under Deductions > Claim Dependant Credits (in the left side menu ≡). If you are using Forms mode in TurboTax CD/Download it’s on the bottom half of the Dependant pop-up screen.

    How do I claim the new NS Children's Sport and Art credit?  It is not coming up anywhere for me and the answers here don't seem to help.  😞

    @KD_NS Are you using TurboTax CD/Download or TurboTax Online?

    I am having the same issue using Turbo Tax online. NS resident with children. When I search under Deductions > Claims for Dependants, the Sports and Arts Tax Credit does not show up. It is similarly not listed under the Provincial Tax Credits. Anyone have any luck with this?

    I am using TurboTax Online. Have filed everything else on it successfully but still looking for that particular tax credit.
