When you finish the Profile section of your return, you will have an amount populate in the refund right away, this is the CAI credit that is determined based on your location see https://bit.ly/2UEy2v1 for more information on eligibility from the CRA . And see below for further details.

Climate Action Incentive Credit (NB, MB, SK, ON only)

 The new refundable credit has no income cap but does have varying amounts by location. If you have a spouse, only one spouse makes the claim for the family (spouse and minor children). Software does it all for you – just enter a few details on your address and family. 

 You will be able to claim (or uncheck) the Climate Action Incentive under the Provincial tab. 

  • Under Provincial Tax Credit, if you qualify it will be there for you to (un)CHECK the Climate Action Incentive Credit box and proceed to answer all the necessary question. 
  • If you have entered information, you have to go backward and retake your steps to ensure all entries have been removed.

Once that section has been completed, then the amount will calculate (or not) on line 449 of your Detailed Tax Summary Page, which is located in the Review Section of your Return after you open Bottom Line Tax summary.

Please refer to the link below from TurboTax Tips to have a better understanding of this new credit and how it is calculated.
