I qualify for the Manitoba Renters' Tax Credit. I spoke with CRA this morning. And I have qualified for it for many years. However, I do not see anywhere in Turbotax to claim that tax credit and input the info on my rent and the landlord's name.

If you've entered an amount from any of the boxes on the slips listed here, you have what the CRA considers to be self-employment or business income: T4 slip: box 81, 82 or 83 T4A slip: box 20 or 48 T4A slip: box 28 and you answered Yes to the question Does the income declared in Box 028 consist of fees collected for services you provided? in TurboTax Online T3 slip: box 24 (foreign business income) If you have an amount in any of these boxes, TurboTax will ask additional questions to report the income as self-employment/business income. You only need to answer basic information, such as business name and address (can be your own), industry code, and fiscal period (Jan 01 to December 31).    If you are still not able to resolve this issue, please contact our phone support team for more assistance.     

While it can be frustrating, it’s common for the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to make a tax return assessment that is different from yours.     The reasons for these discrepancies may vary, and can range from very simple (typo or data entry error, forgotten slip, receipt, amount, etc) to complex (carry-forward amounts not included, accounting errors, etc).    In most cases, the CRA will explain how they calculated your tax refund or balance owing, and you can find this information on your Notice of Assessment (NOA), under the heading Explanation of changes and other important information. Compare the line numbers on your NOA and their corresponding values with those entered into TurboTax.  

If you haven't participated in the Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) or the Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP), and you don't need to change you RRSP limit or how much you want to deduct, then you don't need to visit the RRSP section.  

To do this in TurboTax Online for 2024, click on "2024 tax return" in the top left. Then search for "FHSA" and select “Opened first FHSA or prior year amounts” from the list. Then you’ll be able to enter the amounts from your 2023 notice of assessment or notice or reassessment, or your 2024 form T1028.  

If you are using TurboTax Online, search for Rental Properties on the Tax Home page.   If you are using TurboTax Desktop in EasyStep mode, use the Find tool to search for Rental Property. In Forms mode, look for the T776.

You were charged twice because you purchased 2023 tax software and also the 2024 tax software and filed and also completed one for your mom.   In total there were 3 returns.    If this isn't correct, please contact our phone support team for assistance.   Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

@astinnissen Your refund request has been approved and will soon be processed. You can expect to see the refund appear on the original payment method used on the original order. Refunds are usually processed within 2-3 weeks, but processing time can vary based on your credit card company.    Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

No. The spouse that owes must pay what they owe. The spouse that is getting a refund will get their full refund regardless of whether the other spouse paid or not. They are two individual taxpayers.
