Re: "How do I defer my FHSA deduction?" 

Thanks for the workaround @TurboTaxVeronique. However, this is an obvious error in TT and it should be fixed ASAP! Your customer shouldn't be required to perform a convoluted override on a Schedule for a common request. User Bob273 said the override caused a problem with Netfile, which I want to avoid.

 

I have this problem in TT-2024 Desktop, which says: "Maximum available for 2024 (based on your contributions, withdrawals and transfers made in 2024) $8,000.00  If you wish to claim less than the maximum amount above, enter it here. The difference will be carried forward and available to be claimed next tax year."

 

I want to defer all, but TT won't accept a $0 claim for 2024; it's just ignored and total amount is deducted, no deferral.  However, ANY non-zero number seems to work correctly. Even a $0.01 claim for 2024 results in $7999.99 carried forward.
