Entered T4A Box 42; federal "Other income" amount is correct. Then entered RL-1 Box O code RU; provincial "Other income" incorrectly doubles the amount received. Why?

If I do not enter Box O code RU, the provincial "Other income" correctly shows the amount received for the Income Summary and tax calculations (same amount as federal). Is this a glitch?

I may have found the answer to my own question;

Filing the T4A slip information (in this case Box 42) seems to automatically fill in the info for the Relevé 1 (RL-1 slip) for the earlier section "T4 / Relevé 1 Employment Income" (in this case Box O code RU).

Therefore, filing the RL-1 slip in the later section "T4A / Relevé 1 / Relevé 2 Pension, Retirement, Annuity" added the same amount again and doubled the "Other income" for the provincial Income Summary.

Maybe someone from TurboTax can confirm.
