I used the desktop version of Turbotax. In the 'Easy Step' interview process, I entered the information from a US tax slip (Dividend received, tax withheld) in the Foreign slip category. The software did not transfer this information to the appropriate line in the text form (I believe that to be line 121). I discovered this when contacted by CRA to say I had not reported dividend income from a US source. I believe this to be a bug (a serious one) in the Turbotax software. When I open the return with Turbotax (it was for the 2020 tax year, although I revisited my 2021 return and found the same issue) it shows the Foreign Tax Slip information I entered, but that entry did not get to the tax forms or the return that was e-filed with CRA. Can you comment on this? The Easy Step process is supposed to transpose the information provided to the proper forms for submission but it appears to drop the information entered for the Foreign category of Federal Slips. Please advise on this, I need to explain to CRA why my foreign dividends aren't in my 2020 return, even though I entered the information into Turbotax via the Easy Step process. Thank you for your prompt response.
