Is a T5008 Securities Transaction automatically calculated in the Capital gains and thus automatically eligible for a capital gains deduction?

Hi, thank you for using Intuit turbotax  Live Community

Not all capital gains are eligible for the capital gains deduction as discussed in the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) documentation:

https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-re...

Publicly traded securities transactions reported on a T5008 would not be eligible for the capital gains deduction. The types of capital gains transactions reported on T5008 are listed in the following CRA link:

https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/publications/t4091/t5008-guide-r...

So, TurboTax will not automatically apply the capital gains deduction for publicly traded securities posted to section 3 of the schedule 3 from the T5008 slip, which follows the CRA rules.

Hope this helps
