Husband and wife with 2 children. Profile suggests wife complete Form 151 GST/HST Credit and Carbon Benefit Form. But husband is advised by Profile to complete Form RC66 Child Benefit Application. What is going on with Profile?

This is correct, the one applying for CCB with RC66 does not have to apply for CCR. Please review this link

Change to newcomer application form

Newcomers with children should now apply for the GST/HST credit and the Canada Carbon Rebate using Form RC151 upon arrival to Canada. Only those who meet the eligibility requirements for the Canada child benefit should use Form RC66. Find out more about eligibility at benefits, credits, and taxes for newcomers.

You need to uncheck the box number 4 underneath and then make the required entries

You cannot "uncheck" #4. You have to choose another incorrect option. The person is an immigrant and if you choose another option, then you change his/her status. No, option #4 is correct, but Profile incorrectly instructs the husband to fill out a form RC66 Child Benefits Application, which should only be completed by the mother.

This does not answer the question - why does profile suggest the husband fill out form RC66 when the husband and wife both arrived within the year and the CRA says only the wife should apply. Why can't you program Profile to suggest the wife fill out form RC66 and not the husband? Or, if the 18 months have not yet gone by, then Profile should be warning against filling out RC66 for anyone.
