I could not understand why I had $2000 on line 23200 for Carrying charges, support, and other. I went into Investment Expenses as recommended and every single number in that section is zero. I went through the effort of starting to redo the entire return. Then discovered that the $2000 has to do with my CERB repayment. I had applied for CERB and got $2000 and later realized I didn't qualify so I repaid the $2000. That gave me a $2000 deduction (doesn't make sense, but whatever).

 

When I removed the overpayment and repayment from my T4E form, the $2000 deduction in line 23200 correspondingly disappeared. I did re-enter the information as that is what is on my physical T4E. At least it explains the mystery $2000 deduction on line 23200!
