Quebec - Work from home expenses
I live in Quebec, but work in Ontario. I received a T4 for my employment income and a RL-1 for the employer paid portion of my health benefits (~$2500), which is considered as income in Quebec. I am trying to claim work from home expenses on my Quebec return (line 207) and am having a few issues that I need help with. On Form TP-59, the employment income fields only pull from my RL-1 and not my T4, which therefore doesn't reflect my actual employment income. Because of this, Turbo Tax isn't let me claim employment expenses for my Quebec return. It seems like this is an error with Turbo Tax's automatic calculations for my employment income. Do I need to override line 207 to reflect my actual employment income (amount from T4 + RL-1)?

Hello @niklu1
In forms mode, simply double-click on the amount showing on line 64 of the TP-59. That will bring you to the "QDED" worksheet where you can simply override the "Job 1 - Employment income" field to represent the total Quebec income you received from this employer.
In other words, the sum of your Ontario's T4, box 14 plus the RL1 box A.
Does this help?
