Hi Brenda,   I am experiencing the same issue as CRA is telling me Turbotax incorrectly calculated my return numbers and that my assessment is about $850 higher than reported by TurboTax. This is obviously very upsetting, especially as they are unable to tell me where the error is. Is this something you can assist me with? 

@KC1121 I've sent you a private message. You can check your private messages by logging into the community and clicking on the envelope icon on the top left of the page.   Once you've written your reply message, if you don't see the "Reply" button, use the tab key on your keyboard.

Did you enter anything in the Employment Expenses section? If so, you would need to remove anything you entered there.    If you are still not able to resolve this issue, please contact our phone support team for more assistance.   

Your corporation is a separate taxpayer from you, so you don't need to report the corporation's income & expenses on your personal tax return. You only need to enter the income that you received from the corporation.  

Warning are there to make sure that you double check what you've entered. If it is a Warning and not an Error, then it can be ignored if you are sure the information you entered is correct.   If it's an Error, it needs to be fixed, because something is not right, and you won't be able to NETFILE until you fix the problem.   

What you enter for your expenses doesn't go based on your income, it goes by what percentage of the expense was for your self-employment. Ex: if you had a printer that you used 90% for your self-employment, then you can claim 90% percent of the cost of ink.    How you enter the amounts depends on what the expense is. For the printer ink, you would just put in 90% of the total cost. For motor vehicle costs, you would put in the total you spend for gas, maintenance, etc... and the software will pro-rate the amount based on the kilometres you used for your self-employment work.  

@robertjeanpiche The work arounds are that you can file the returns without the transfer and submit an adjustment to add the transfer later. Or redo the returns for each separately, so you can put the transfer on the right return without the software moving it to the wrong spouse.
