Where do I enter political contributions?

SOLVED•by TurboTax•13•Updated July 29, 2021

You can claim contributions made in the current tax year to registered federal or provincial political parties or to federal or provincial election candidate(s).

You can't claim political contributions made to a candidate or party in a municipal election unless you live in Québec.

Important: You can't carry forward political contributions to a future year, so be sure to claim the full amount in the year you made them.
