What do I put in the "GST/HST Collected" Section?

If you are GST/HST registered and file a GST/HST Return for your business, don’t include GST/HST in any of your amounts on your personal self-employment form. You’ll put the GST/HST earned and incurred on the GST/HST Return itself, and get your ITCs from there. Leave the GST, HST and PST box empty. If you’re not GST/HST registered, then you would include GST/HST on all amounts you enter on your personal self-employment form. In the GST, HST and PST box, you would put any sales tax that you included in your income in the Total Revenue box at the top of the page.

aaryn:

 

You have not stated whether or not you are registed and have a GST/HST number. It is not clear if the amount in your form is for GST or for HST, which would make a difference to the calculation. If you are registered, and do not use the quick method, you would report the taxes and ITCs on a GST 34 form. Ignore the GST question on your T2125.

What do I put in the "GST/HST Collected" Section?

Be careful:

In 2024, I had income for as both "Self employed" and T4A (Self employed) over $30,000


I fill in and pay GST/PST separately on Quebec gov web site


In 2024, I collected $17,400 in GST, PST total.


In business section, I answered "I collected GST/HST and QST this year"


then:
"Your GST/HST and QST info - Enter the total GST/HST and QST collected or collectible from your GST/HST and QST return."


If I enter zero here:

Line 13700 "Professional income" increases by $17,400 and taxes payable increase as well.
 

If I enter actual GST/PST collected, professional income falls to expected value.


Contrary to advice here, if you enter zero, it looks like Turbo tax is calculating GST/PST for you.

 

If in business section, I answered "I collected GST/HST and QST this year"  = No,
Program still calculates GST/PST and adds it as income.

Can administrator please verify earlier statement.


And maybe Turbo tax can modify wording and explanations for this situation?
