Paying Attention to detail when preparing a T1

Hi there, 


Could you provide an example of how not paying attention resulted in a serious issue when preparing T1s? 

Except for ensuring that you are entering the right amounts into each spouses return.


thank you!

There are many user errors we've seen over the years but the most common example of a mistake is a misplaced decimal. Turning a $500 donation receipt into a $50000 receipt is a good example.

For this purpose, TurboTax has a number of built-in warnings in the Review. It encourages taxpayers to double-check their entries.
