Unfortunately, there is no other way of importing Tax Slips. You can add the dates manually by searching for "T5008".

Thank you for using TurboTax.

is there a way to exclude T5008 from importing from CRA?

@wlee8 Unfortunately, you cannot skip T5008 slips if they are available for import from CRA. The T-slips cannot be unselected or excluded. The dates must be added manually.

Why after entering a date am i being forced to pay more taxes? Whether I try Jan 1 or Dec 31 Turbotax is charging me more taxes than if I have no date in at all like previous years.
