Box 24 Foreign Currency is not present on T5 page. Should it be entered elsewhere?

@gail02791 In TurboTax, all amounts are expected to be entered in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

I have passed on your comments & suggestions to our product development team.

Thank you for your input.

Good to know that TurboTax doesn't do currency conversions. That explains why there's no "Box 27" (currency) on the T5 slip.

Here's my problem, though. I downloaded all of my investment income slips from CRA. The T5 was for an investment in my USD account, and was in $USD, with USD in Box 27. Turbotax accepted that, but just ignored the currency hence I would have been reporting a $USD amount as $CAD and so underreporting my income. Shouldn't TurboTax at least be warning me that it's up to me to convert all of those amounts to $CAD?
