Need to claim other employment expenses on Line 229 (repayment of salary/wages). how do I do this?

I am experiencing the same problem, I am using online version.  Why isn't there any field for me to simply input the amount of repaid salary?  My employer told me to enter the amount on line 22900, but this poor software won't allow me to do it.  Any admin here going to comment?  This is holding up my return.

I don't think you can enter it in the Expenses section of the online version of turbotax2021, but thankfully there is a workaround:

Enter repaid salary as a deduction.  To do this, go to "deductions", then "other deductions", then "miscellaneous deductions", click continue, then you will be brought to a page that says "additional deductions".  At the bottom there is a blank field where you can enter an additional deduction, go ahead and write "repayment of salary/wages" and then the amount in the adjacent field.  I did this and my Return was assessed successfully.

Thank you so much for this @imymanz 

Did your entry show up on line 256 when you filed? When I enter this way, the amount shows up on that line when I preview my return.

Thanks!

Yes, it will show up on line 25600.

To enter repayment was for salary or wages in TurboTax Online, click on Find (magnifying glass) in the top right-hand corner. Type "emp" in the box, then select "Employment Expenses" from the list, and click “Go”.

On the "Employment Expenses" page, click the “Yes” button. Select “T2200”, then click “Continue”.

On the "Employment Expense Profile" page, select “Other Employment Expenses”. Answer “No” to the question “Are you eligible to claim the GST/HST rebate?”

On the "Employment Expense Profile" page, enter your salary/wage repayment in the box labeled “Other expenses” (the 9th box on the page). Click “Continue” to save your changes.

This will enter your salary/wage repayment on Line 22900 - Other employment expenses.
