If you have a lot of stock trades in US dollars and you have to  create a spreadsheet to enter every trade - then convert to Canadian - then manually enter every trade again into TurboTax you have to wonder if you should be looking for another tax software package

If you are reporting income you received from the United States, you should be using the 2018 US Average of 1.2957 to convert the amount to Canadian dollars.

The Bank of Canada also has a currency converter which you can find here: https://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/exchange/currency-converter/

I am filing my 2020 canadian tax returns. I have received T5008 forms with USD trades. Can I use the bank of Canada 2020 average USD - CAD exchange rate which is 1.3415. Please let me know asap.

Turbo Tax does not include the foreign currency field from the reported T5008 transactions which makes the process extremely inefficient to enter into the software. Absolute waste of time!
