Feedback: no "Dr" option available for personal information

There are over 220,000 people with PhDs in Canada, and over 90,000 MDs, and more than 7500 join the ranks of “doctor” each year.

 

Particularly at a time when non-gendered titles and honorifics are more important than ever, it behooves the makers of this program to add a "Dr" option to the "Personal Information" section of the interview questions for Turbotax.

 

For those identifying as non-binary, an "Mx" option may be preferable.

 

Alternatively, the honorifics could be disposed of altogether.

Are you referring to the question on the "Québec Basic Credits" page? Unfortunately, Revenu Québec still requires you to pick a gender on their tax return. Instead of asking for gender, TurboTax asks for a prefix, and then uses that to determine gender. So gender-less prefixes like Dr. can't be included in the selection.
