If you sold your securities transactions in 2020 and got some capital losses, you would need to complete 5000-S3 Schedule 3 - Capital Gains (or Losses) in 2020 (for all) to calculate and report any capital losses from selling your securities transactions.
As per the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA): "Generally, if you had an allowable capital loss in a year, you have to apply it against your taxable capital gain for that year. If you still have a loss, it becomes part of the computation of your net capital loss for the year. You can use a net capital loss to reduce your taxable capital gain in any of the 3 preceding years or any future year."
If you are using TurboTax Online software, please follow these instructions to report your capital losses:
Capital gains or losses reported on T5008, T5, T3, T4PS, T5013 slips
- Select Find in the upper-right area of TurboTax.
- Type the name of your T-slip in the Find window (for example, type "T5008" for securities transactions).
- Select the name of your T-slip from the list of results (the Find tool highlights the closest match in a list of results), then select Go.
- Enter the amount on the slip directly into the TurboTax page dedicated to that slip.
