Should I choose 'I received form T2200s~' if I want to employment expenses as detailed method? I selected T2200 not T2200s, it didn't work.

As you received T2200S, then you would select that not T2200, and get the option to use either the Detailed Method or the Flat Rate ($2/per day).  Please find below the detailed steps:

If you're a salaried or commissioned employee

  1. Select Find (or the magnifying glass icon) from the TurboTax menu
  2. In the Find window, type employment
  3. Select Employment Expenses from the list of results, then select Go
  4. On the Employment Expenses step, select Yes
  5. On the Employment Expense Profile step, make the selection that best applies to your situation, then select Continue
  6. Select the T2200S option and other options on the page
  7.  Then select whether you want to go with Flat rate method or Detailed method, please refer to this CRA link for more detail:  Home office expenses
  8. You've finished the expenses section when you reach the Your Employment Profile step

Note: To claim this deduction (line 22900 of your tax return), you must qualify under the new COVID rules, OR have a signed T2200 or T2200s from your employer showing the conditions of your employment. Don’t file the T2200 or T2200s with your return but do keep a copy for your records.

Thanks for answering this. Ths thing is my employer only issued T2200 not T2200s. That's why I'm trying to use detailed method with T2200. But what I understood is even though with T2200 we can still use detailed method. Am I right? But Turbo tax doesn't allow it with T2200. Any opinion?
