repayment of covid 19 financial assistance box 26 and Box 30

I'm trying to file my income tax and I am not quite sure what to do for the repayment of covid 19 financial assistance. On my T4E Line 26 overpayment recovered/repaid there is an amount of 2000$.

If I fill Box 30 Total federal covid repayment and covid repayments to claim in 2022 it gives me an amount of 4000$ when I review my tax refund.

Do I just leave Box 30 empty since the amount of 2000$ is already in box 26?

Also, after checking the box that me and my husband are cohabitating, our refund went down over 400$. Is that normal?

Thank you !

You only enter what you have on your T4E slip. You do not add any amounts to anymore boxes. Yes, your refund can go lower when you cohabitate as some credits are 1 per household only.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
