How do I enter information from a T1198?

Having the same issue as other in the thread. I have inputted all the amounts from my T1198, but keep getting an error message that say "The breakdown of principal (total of boxes 68520 through 68560) must equal the total principal amount (box 68519).". I have checked the math multiple times and the numbers do add up correctly. I cannot proceed with my tax return until this issue is resolved...

So I've been playing with it. It is box 68555 that is giving me trouble. What's interesting is that it works if I raise it a single cent and adjust the totals accordingly. Seems to be a weird glitch.

I am receiving this error message:

The breakdown of principal (total of boxes 68520 through 68560) must equal the total principal amount (box 68519).

and it will not allow me to go further. I am entering it correctly, it seems it may be a glitch. Please advise so I can finish my taxes!

@SFox1 T1198 form is still locked by CRA and not finalized by CRA yet. Please refer to this link Why does TurboTax say my forms are locked or haven't been finalized? 

We do not have any ETA on this yet but as soon a these forms gets finalize we will be updating them in TurboTax for an accurate calculations.

We appreciate your patience.

The date for CRA to have fixed the T1198 form was today- March 14.  

The error code is still the same stating the totals do not match.  When will you have this fixed at the Turbo Tax end?

I had the same issue. I spoke to someone at turbotax and they said they have an open ticket trying to figure out why it won’t let people proceed. They are emailing once it is cleared up. Hang tight for now.
