I'm using Turbotax self-employed 2024. I find the navigation has deteriorated from previous years, or somehow I can't figure it out. How to step thru different sections?

Didn't the left-hand frame have a list of sections and you could jump back and forth to fix items where you still needed to chase info (example new T5s come in)?

The items that were on the side have now moved onto the Tax Home page, including the search function. You can still use the search to find things you need.

Thank you for your reply. I agree but don't agree. The search isn't great. I had previously entered some information for "Carrying charges", wanted to check or change the data, and did a search on "carrying" with no search results.

Also, same for "sale" or "rental". I was able to enter rental income and expenses, but can't find where to enter the information for the sale of our rental condo.

@the23boss- If you sell a rental property for more than it cost, you may have a capital gain.

List the dispositions of all your rental properties on Schedule 3, Capital Gains (or Losses). For more information on how to calculate your taxable capital gain, see Guide T4037, Capital Gains.

For more information please check this CRA link: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/rental-income/capital-cost-allowance-rental-property/determining-capital-cost-property-special-situations/selling-your-rental-property.html

We will also like to inform you that Schedule 3 - Capital Gains or Losses is one of the locked forms that is not finalized by CRA yet.

I agree. It's like it's completely bypassed sections and it's hard to figure out where to add them. For example it prompted me to add a T4 but that was it for employment income (I have other income beyond the single T4) and it never prompted me to add my business expenses. I think it'll be easy for people using it for the first time to really screw it up. Last year's version was much clearer.

I agree, the navigation is terrible ... not intuitive at all like it used to be.

I got all the way though the entry and got to the "Detailed Summary" to review.

Then I noticed that I missed a T4 form. Fetched it a few days later, and then TRIED and TRIED to find how to get back to do an additional entry. Still trying to find it.

ARGG this would have been so easy last year.
