Troubleshooting

Could you check the residency status?

In TurboTax Desktop, go to the Personal Information section.

Ensure your Province of Residence on December 31, 2025, is selected.

Look for the question, "Did you become a resident/leave Canada in 2025?" Ensure this is unchecked or set to "No" if you lived here all year.

Ensure the box for "Non-resident" is NOT checked.

 

Let me know how it goes!
