If you are using a TurboTax Online product, please follow the steps below to enter the amount of box 201 from the T4A slips.

  • Sign in to your return
  • Go to the Find icon (magnifying glass) at the top right corner to enter T4A Pension, Retirement, Annuity, and then click Go
  • Then you will be directed to a new page (T4A summary), click on Enter new T4A for the Client`s name, if you have not entered your T4A yet.
  • On the Next Page (Client`s name: T4A - Pension, Retirement, Annuity, and Other Income), here scroll down to the last section (COVID Related Benefits). 
  • In this section you will see two 201 boxes. one is for provincial Covid repayment and another one is for federal Covid repayment. 
  • After mentioning the amounts in Box 201, click Done with T4A to save your work
