@amansabarwal FHSA contributions go on the T4FHSAYou need to enter your contributions before your deduction limit can be calculated. You’ll get a T4FHSA - First Home Savings Account Statement in the next few weeks which will have your total contributions, and once you enter the slip, TurboTax will adjust your deduction limit.

@amansabarwal Good to know that you were able to fix the issue.

I am having this problem (and it is March 9th).

My son opened his FHSA when he turned 19 last spring.

He contributed $8,000.

I have inputted the T4FHSA and it shows up on Turbotax.

But it is giving me a contribution limit of $0 when it should be $8,000.

And it is not transferring the $8,000 contribution to Schedule 15.

This is a TurboTax glitch as I have been spending hours re-doing everything and nothing works.

I can't even manually over-ride the number in Schedule 15.

Help!

I am having exactly the same problem.

How did you fix it?

The maximum contribution should be $8,000 but it says zero.

Help!

Thanks.

@Bob273 You need to enter your contributions before your deduction limit can be calculated. You should have T4FHSA - First Home Savings Account Statement which will have your total contributions, and once you enter the slip, TurboTax will adjust your deduction limit.

I did that. I entered the information from the T4FHSA slip first and Turbotax did not adjust the deduction limit. In fact, I did that about 10 times. And nothing.

I am having the same problem. It is showing FHSA deduction available for 2024: $0.00. On this exact same screen it says "This is based on the T4FHSA slips you entered. To add or edit amounts, go to T4FHSA Contributions" however when I click on the hyperlink T4FHSA Contributions it just reloads the same page stating my FHSA deduction available for 2024: $0.00. Is this a glitch in the system? Throughout the whole process it never asked me to enter my contributions first. It only asked if I opened my first FHSA account in 2024 which I clicked the box yes and then it took me to next screen about deductions which says my deductions available are $0. Is it maybe because I did auto autofill from CRA and there is no record on there for my FHSA, which makes sense since last year was first time I opened one. Is there a way to re-start the tax filing?

Figured it out. Had to go and change contributions first by clicking on the box of T4FHSA slip in the beginning when it asked which of the following do you have.  

[Bob273]

I checked that box right from the beginning and redid it a few times. Didn’t work. Glad it worked for you. I even had a TurboTax support person take over/view my computer as I went through the whole process and he couldn’t figure it out.
