HMRC SA and transfer of MArried Allowance

Options
Hi,
I don't think this is necessarily the right forum for this, but wasnt sure where would be better as I know many on here are very knowledgibla.
My wife has transferred 10% of her zero rated tax allowance (Married Allowance).
This was set up a year or two ago and has worked so far (with a but of help from HMRC).
I did my SA tax return last week and owed £275.  There was no mention of the transferred £250 ish additional allowance.
When does this get added and my tax bill recalculated?  Should this appear on my online account and calculation?
Thanks.

    Don't know about your online account as such but it should be included in your Self Assessment calculation a few days after you file your return.

    With any liability/overpayment on your Self Assessment statement adjusted to reflect that.

    Unfortunately it looks like this has not been picked up as it is neither in the calculation and my bill hasnt been reduced.  I submitted my SA over a week ago.
    I will maybe give it a few more days and contact them next week.

    What amount does your Personal Allowance show as in the calculation?
