I finally got rid of the Turbotax warnings I was getting. Here's what I did.
I was getting Turbotax errors (not Netfile errors) saying: The amount of FOREIGN capital gains in Box 52 plus boxes 54 and 56 can’t be more than TOTAL capital gains in box 52. Similar message for boxes 52, 55, and 57.
And another error to the effect of: The sum of capital gains in boxes 52 and 53 must equal the total capital gains in box 21.
I had 4 T3s and did not know which had the problem. I deleted the T3s I had entered, one by one, until the warnings went away. That meant deleting 3 of them. Then I re-entered them one by one, checking for warnings each time.
When typing in the T3 info, I did not type anything into the box 21 fields. I went to the ‘Other Boxes’ page and entered my amounts in boxes 52 to 57 as supplied on the form. I generally entered the same amounts twice: once under Foreign capital gains and once under Total capital gains. When I went back to the first page, Turbotax had usually filled in the box 21 numbers, for both Foreign and Total capital gains. The Turbotax errors went away.
I do not know if I would get any Netfile errors because I am not ready to submit. I don’t trust that Turbotax hasn’t corrupted my numbers in the background on my return, so I am going to re-enter the whole return again. Thank you, Turbotax. After 15+ years of using you, I won’t be using you again.
