You are only taxed on RRSP withdrawals and overcontributions, not on reinvestments or capital gains within your RRSP account. You can't claim any fees you paid for services in connection with your RRSPs.   On your Canadian tax return, you can claim donations to both Canadian & US charities. You can only claim US donations if you have US income, though.    As to whether or not you need to file a return in Canada, this Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website might help: Who should file a tax return    

Please clarify why you think this is wrong?  You are getting a federal refund of $29 and believe you should be getting more?  If so, why do you think you should be getting more back?  Is this your first year filing?  Did your situation change from last year?  Did you double check all of your entries?  Did you have a child that turned 17?

After you completed entry of the SSA-1099 for the Social Security benefits received in 2025, there was a following screen asking you if you lived in any of the foreign countries listed.  If you selected Yes or skipped over this screen, the TurboTax program would not have calculated any taxes on your Social Security benefits entered on the Form 1040 Line 6a.  Resulting in a 0 being entered on Form 1040 Line 6b.

I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:   TurboTax Online:   Sign into your online account. Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen. A drop-down will appear. Select Tools On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.” This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us. Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.   TurboTax Desktop/Download Versions:   Open your return. Click the Online tab in the black bar across the top of TurboTax and select “Send Tax File to Agent” * This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created.  Click on OK and the tax file will be sanitized and transmitted to us. Please provide the Token Number  (including the dash) that was generated in the response.   *(If using a MAC, go to the menu at the top of the screen, select Help, then, “Send Tax File to Agent”)  

You do not check the status of a state tax refund on the IRS website.   Use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...

I put the reason why I didn't file in the question. Not sure what you mean by "where." That's actually MY question as the IRS wanted to know my filing for 2024 and it was 0 because I didn't file (fine by law). But my 2026 taxes won't accept it. 

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.   Using the TurboTax desktop editions, you can also use the Check Electronic Filing Status under File located in the upper left of the desktop program screen.

you will have to create a dummy 1099-SA indicate the gross distribution (box 1) as $3183 you can enter loss in box 2 but it will not carry into your return. distribution code is 2. this should carry box 1 into line 14 of thr 8889 you may have to create a dummy ssn for payer's TIN on th 1099-SA I also do not see how can I add “Filed pursuant to Section 301.9100-2”  to the top of 1040-X form to request 6 months extension. TurboTax is lame in this regard becuae it doesn't provide for this. so you will have to print out your amended return and write it at the top of the 1040-X. Mail your return using a tracking service.    . 

I'm as frustrated as anyone.  I'm posting this msg in a few places to widen the discussion a bit. I've definitely given up on ItsDeductible.  I know the group that created GiveTrackSave, and it's way better.  Yeah, I'm biased for sure. I won't compare it with ItsDeductible since there is no comparison.  Gosh, I love the "Recurring Donations" feature in GiveTrackSave.   There you have it.   https://givetracksave.com
