In Easy Step mode the Nova Scotia Children's Sports and Arts Credit is under Claim Dependant Credits. If you are using Forms mode in TurboTax CD/Download it’s on the bottom half of the Dependant pop-up screen.

You need the T4A(P) slip, not the T4A slip.   To get to the T4A(P) in TurboTax Online, use the “Find” tool (magnifying glass) to search for “T4A”. Select “T4A(P)-Canada pension plan benefits” from the list and then click the “Go” button.

I’ve called them twice and each time they tell me that I’ll have to upgrade (ie. pay more) to talk to a tax specialist. Complete crap because it’s a technical issue and not a lack of tax knowledge on my part. It’s magically added $20k to my taxes and my effective tax rate is 200%. It’s obvious it’s an error.  And it’s so weird that they won’t put me through to someone that can actually help me.   I'm thinking my only option is to get a refund and move my business elsewhere.

After you have filled out the 1st T4 slip, click on “Save T4 & Enter Relevé 1” at the bottom right of the page. Enter the Relevé 1 associated with the T4, then click on “Save & Continue”. Then on the T4 Summary page, click on “Add T4 – Relevé 1 for [Your Name]”. Enter the 2nd T4 and click on “Save T4 and Skip Relevé 1”.

Then you can enter your Staycation information in the table at the top of the form.   To go back to EasyStep Mode, click on the EasyStep icon in the blue icon bar.

Thanks for the prompt reply.     There is no way to enter dates for medical expenses in the online TurboTax .  Entering a Claim Period covers all expenses within that period so dates for each expense is not required as I understand and it makes sense to me.  CRA says to keep all receipts because they may ask for them later.   I did try checking off 2021 before calling support.  It does ask for dates, I enter my dates 16/08/2021 to 15/08/2022 but it does not work.  Even tried the example shown in the TurboTax Help screen, it  does not work.   I also tried checking off both 2021 and 2022 and that also does not work.  Finally I called support.   Thanks very much for reporting this issue to the developers.  I wanted support to report the issue, I knew it's a bug.  I requested second level TurboTax support do a remote session to my PC to show them the issue.  They refused,  told me I had to add the full year 2022 as the Claim Period,  marked my support case as resolved and closed the case.

Hello TurboTaxSusan,   Thank you for your reply and instructions, it's much appreciated.    I was confused if this transaction can be declared for capital gains or it has to be declared as a business activity? To clarify, we bought the property in December 2021 and after renovating it, we sold it in August 2022. It was the first time we had this type of transaction. In the past, we renovated property and rented it out. Our main income is from rental properties but this one, in the end, we decided to sell.   I have followed your instructions to declare it as capital gains and selected capital gains profile for myself only (there's an option for my spouse but she wasn't an owner at any stage). However there is no option to add my friend, who was a co-owner of the property... In Capital Gains, as well, there's no option to split the ownership of the property. Do I enter all of the values in halves? (Proceeds of disposition, adjusted cost base and outlays and expenses - all in 50% value?).   Finally, can I enter all costs of renovation plus legel fees in outlays and expenses?    Best regards,  klaxnow
