You can use TurboTax Online on any PC or Mac with a current web browser, and no installation is required. You can also use the TurboTax mobile app for iOS and Android devices to do your taxes on your smartphone or tablet.    Normally TurboTax Online is priced per return, however you can buy multi-return packages at 3rd party retailers like Walmart, Costco, Amazon, Staples, etc. The prices are usually similar to the Desktop versions, but the price set by the retailer, and they often have discounts, sales or other ways to reduce the price.    There is no equivalent of "Standard" for TurboTax Online, instead there is Deluxe, but that doesn't cover investments or investment expenses. For that you need Premier, which on Amazon.ca is currently the same price as the Desktop version: $90 for 12 returns.    I have passed on a suggestion to our product development team regarding a Desktop version for Macs. Thank you for your input.   

More worries. Will my last 6 years of Turbotax (Canada) returns, made with Windows 10, open with Windows 11 ? Also, can you clarify how “Turbotax on line” would work on a desktop P.C. using Windows 10. or Is "Turbotax on line" just the way of delivery into my desktop? I will be continuing to use Windows 10; too advanced in age to consider a replacement. Thank you, Alec79

It would be nice to have a desktop version for Mac. I have been using your software since QuickTax years, and always had to do it either on a Mac with virtual Windows or on a Windows computer. I use the small business version with my family as the free version doesn’t allow for all deductions and entries. I am not going to be purchasing a new Windows 11 computer just to do taxes nor a new windows 11 software package for my MacBook. If there isn’t Mac support it looks like I will have to switch to a different product after a couple of decades of being a satisfied customer. Unfortunate, as I like the Turbotax program.

You would enter the amounts on your NR4 based off of the codes and information on the NR4. For example, if you have income Code 46 CPP on your NR4, you would enter the amounts on the T4A (CPP) slip. For the NR4(OAS) you can use the T4A (OAS).   

Yes, if your income is too high, then you may no longer qualify for those credits.    The Ontario Trillium Benefit has different components with different income ranges, but this CRA webpage shows the maximum income levels for the GST/HST credit: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/child-family-benefits/goods-services-tax-harmonized-sales-tax-gst-hst-credit/family-income-level-where-recipient-will-no-longer-receive-gst-hst-credit.html   The Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) has been discontinued and the last payment was in April. So, you won't receive any future CCR payments unless you are owed from a previous year.   

Hi, thanks for your response. I know CRA updates the schedules for upcoming credit deposit after filing tax, however, nothing has been showing up and even there's no message like 'eligible or ineligible for those credits'. I'm assuming this happens because my income increased and reached 70k. So, due to my income increase, I won't get any of those credits? 

@Mhong006 Line 23200 of your return is where allowable amounts not deducted anywhere else on your return are entered. If you have foreign income on your T5, and have paid foreign taxes on that income, you might have a Section 20(12) deduction on line 23200 of your T1. This deduction would be whatever foreign tax is not refunded by the Foreign Tax Credit.    This Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has a list of some other things that may be included on line 23200: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-return/completing-a-tax-return/deductions-credits-expenses/line-23200-other-deductions.html   If you are still not able to resolve this issue, please contact our phone support team for more assistance.   

You should get information about how much you are getting and when you are receiving the payments from the CRA & the Ontario government within a few weeks of filing your return online. You can check your CRA MyAccount for this info if you have an account.   

@ashleylesser When you get the message about the CWB and click on "applies to me", it should bring you to a place where you can choose whether or not you want to claim it. If it's not, please contact our phone support team for more assistance.
