Find CRA error Netfile information >> HERE!

Can someone help? The T3 wont allow me to proceed unless I fill out box #52 and box #53. The tax slip has no amount for those boxes. How can I proceed to file?

Turbo Tax is showing this error:The sum of box 52 and box 53 cannot be negative and must equal the total capital gain or loss in box 21.

Remove the amount from Box 52, if applicable (leave it blank) - Enter the sum of Box 52 + Box 53 in Box 53 - Ensure Box 53 equals the amount in Box 21 If the error persists, try rounding the box amounts (21 and 53) to the nearest dollar. 

 

The new capital gains rate is not going into effect this year, so both boxes are taxed at the same one-half (50%) rate.
