It not about whether or not you are claiming a capital gain or loss in 2024.
It is all about what pieces of historic data related to investment income and investment losses get factored into your lifetime capital gains exemption.
In my case, all the bank interest that I declared since 1988 has found its way into the calculation for my capital gains exemption, so my TP-726.6 form is locked this year.
The TurboTax program is doing exactly what I want it to be doing, which is keeping track of my historic data so that if one day, I buy and sell an investment, TurboTax will calculate the proper amount of tax that I should be paying, even before the CRA confirms it with their Notice of Assessment.
And for this advantage, I am willing to wait for the CRA to unlock my forms, instead of jumping ship to another tax preparation software package and lose all my historic data contained in the form called CARRY FWD.
Why don't you Google the Bloomberg News article titled "Hoping to file your 2024 taxes early?" and read for yourself where the CRA claims responsibility?
