@thakar88 Why is it that this year they decided to lock this feature when it has always been included with the free version?  (Or at least it has been for the past 5 years that I have been doing my own taxes)

Can the Turbotax team please make this available to us? It's as if Turbotax is trying to make money off the people that are being charitable and giving... which just isn't great PR for Turbotax.

Another vote to make charitable donations included with free edition. Are we seriously expected to pay ~$40 for Deluxe edition only to try to get LESS than that back with CRA's measly charitable donation tax credit?
