Here is how to enter your foreign income:

  • Select Find* or the magnifying glass icon from the top menu.
  • Once the Find window opens, type Foreign slips, then hit enter.
  • Select  Foreign slips from the options that appear, then select Go.
  • When the Foreign Slips Summary step appears, add the amount for the slip you would like to claim.
  • Repeat the steps above for each new slip and amount you need to enter.
  • Select Continue at the bottom of the page when done.

 

  •  
  • You must submit income, pension, and any other amounts in TurboTax, even if your amounts aren’t reported on T-slips.
  • If the amounts on your foreign income slip are reported in a foreign currency, convert them to Canadian dollars before you enter them. If the amount was paid at various times throughout the year, use an average annual exchange rate.
  • For foreign non-business income that is not on a T-slip (including US social security), do not convert the amounts to Canadian dollars before you enter them. TurboTax converts the amounts automatically based on the exchange rate you enter.
