We appreciate you choosing TurboTax,

CRA requires you to prepare a paper return with the details of the S.45(2) election you are making (address of the property, date of the change of use, etc. and sign and date this attached S.45(2) document - keep a copy for your records) when you change the use of your property from personal to income-generating.

The tax return for the taxation year in which the change occurred must contain the election. If no CC A has been claimed, penalties may apply if a late election is filed.
