I sold stocks and thus got a T5008 slip from TD. The cost value box #20 is blank on the slip. Do I fill out the Capital Gain/Loss form later in the process?

Do I put my original cost of the stock in box 20?

You have to calculate the Actual Cost Base (ACB) of the stocks.

You enter this in box 20. 

Your Capital Loss or Gain is based on this.

Do I enter my ACB in box 20 AND enter the gain/loss in the investment profile as well? It affects the refund if I do both versus the T5008 slip only.

Enter the ACB in box 20.
