Box 16/17 on T4 is Employee's CPP/QPP contributions.  Box 16A/17A is Employee's second CPP/QPP contribution.   Technically, both amount should be on the same T4. If the last version of your T4 on your CRA My Account is not with box 16/17 and box 16A/17A on the same slip, we suggest you to contact CRA to see if you can combine both T4s together to have only 1 but with all the amount reflecting your 2024 year.   Here is the link to contact CRA   Thank you for choosing TurboTax.  

Yes that’s what it looks like but not sure why turbo tax won’t recommend that based on individual case and still keep recommending to take standard deduction. It should be recommending which gives the best return t the taxpayer 

I neglected to mention that I am using TT Deluxe, not Home and Business. I don't have Your Business or Final Details in my version (at least, I cannot find them). The issue seems to have arisen last year when I checked "Some of my investment is at risk," instead of "All..." Checking "All..." this year fixes the results, but does not remove the large negative carryover offset. This I resolved by entering an equal positive number on the next line to reach a zero sum. If anyone can offer a better way to resolve this, I look forward to seeing it. Thanks, everyone!
