  2. Type the name of your T-slip in the Find window (for example, type T5008).
  3. Select the name of your T-slip from the list of results, then Go.
  4. Enter the amount on the slip directly onto the TurboTax screen dedicated to that slip.

 

Capital gains or losses not reported on a T-slip

  3. Select Capital Gains and Capital Gains Deduction Profile from the search results, then Go.
