Where would I enter tax refund interest income to me?

I was paid interest on my tax return refund due to long processing time of CRA. I have been led to believe that I must declare that monies in, as income. Just checking to make sure this is true, and where would I enter that on Turbo Tax?

Under the Income Tax Act, Section 67.6, generally, fines or penalties are not tax-deductible, and unfortunately, this includes CRA fines and penalties (According to the CRA – Income Tax Folio S4-F2- C1, 'Deductibility of Fines and Penalties'). Because in your case the delay was caused by CRA, we would suggest you to contact them directly at 1-800-959-7383 in this regards. If they agree to deduct the interest you paid, you will just need to look for that line on your T1 form.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax
