I delivered with Uber Eats in 2025 and collected income + tips, and have mileage. I also did contract work with an AI training lab, how do I report these?

I obviously don't have a business name and was an independent contractor. I see Uber can connect to Turbo Tax but this doesn't seem to work. There is only a place to enter a new business, not for contractor work.

I want to refile to add $8 000 for a RESP

Whoever owns the building must claim it. If you both own it, then you can split it 50/50. Unfortunately, we can't tell you who it will benefit without seeing your return. You can always enter it on one to see the outcome, then add the 50% to see which one makes more sense for you on how to claim it.

You will need to go to the Personal Information section of your return and click on "Edit" beside where you see the SIN number. There you will be able to change it to the proper SIN.

TurboTaxBrenda — Tue, 12 May 2026 15:35:13 GMT

The travel expense deduction includes the option to claim a standard amount of up to $1,200 in eligible travel expenses for those without employer-provided travel benefits.

If there's an eligible family member who travelled, they may need to be considered in determining the travel expense deduction.

The lowest airfare is what the price of light was at the time of travel and not necessarily what you paid. You can find it by clicking this link: Lowest Airfare

Taxable travel employment benefits include any of the following that were received from an unrelated employer who's not a relative and are included in income from employment in the prescribed zone:

Travel assistance, such as airline tickets or a trip on a corporate airplane
A travel allowance or a lump-sum payment

Usually the employer includes this in box 32 or 33 of the T4 slip or in box 28 or 116 of the T4A slip.

The standard amount is $1200.

This would mean that your employer did not fill out your T-slips correctly and would need to amend your slips and send them to you.

Re: Can I claim the cost of Turbo Tax and courier fees in sending requested docs to CRA?

TurboTaxBrenda — Tue, 12 May 2026 14:58:36 GMT

Do you have audit defence? If not, and the CRA audited you and requested that you send them documents or receipts, this is not something you can claim.

The only way to claim using TurboTax software is if you are self-employed.

TurboTaxBrenda — Tue, 12 May 2026 14:47:51 GMT

Yes, you can only claim for the months it is rented; only if the place is still being advertised for rent and it's the first year of renting it can you claim mortgage interest and property taxes for the full year.
