I think there may be a difference with TurboTax this year.   I have never previously entered Box 26 before, usually leaving it 0.00.  I think TurboTax now needs that amount to calculate the CPP remittance properly.  In previous years I believe this wasn't the case.   In many cases Box 26 and Box 14 are the same.  I entered the same amount in each and the overpayment issue is resolved.     It would be good to get more confirmation from TurboTax about this situation.

How is this not fixed yet? In schedule 15, if I enter 0 in the "if you wish to claim less than maximum amount, enter it here" box, it still calculates as though I want to claim everything this year!  This is an enormous bug! I didn't realize I could override line 43 to 0 (by pressing F2).  I think so many people will accidentally deduct everything when they didn't intend to.  I hope the netfile will still work.

Anyone can use ReFile for their Federal return. But ReFile is not available for Quebec returns. If you need to make changes to your Quebec return, you'll need to do it through your Quebec My Account for individuals or mail in a TP-1.R-V.    

Hi again   Now I have another return that needs to be refiled due to receiving an amended T4.   Can anyone provide instructions on how to complete this through Desktop Turbotax Premier?   I appreciate your reply.   DB

As a non-resident there are some credits & benefits that you you either no longer qualify for, or are reduced based on the amount of time your were in Canada. You also usually don't get any provincial credits, benefits or deductions.   

If your child is filing for the first time, they won't be able to create a CRA login until they get the NOA for their first return. They can't use your account because CRA MyAccount logins are one per taxpayer. Your account is tied to your SIN number and no one else's.  

If you only started to use your vehicle for your business in 2024, then you won't have a UCC. If you bought the vehicle in 2024 then you would enter it as an addition. If you bought the vehicle before 2024, than you would enter the date in 2024 when you started using it for your business.  

It would be nice if this worked properly... the error message is so cryptic that if it wasn't for this article, I would never have resolved it.   So why do they allow the 2nd method if it doesn't work at first glance it is the intuitive way to do it?
