Turbo Tax has a box for Professional Fees which says to include any GST/HST collected.
On the same page, my T4A income is listed but not editable.
The T4A income it lists is the pre-tax amount, as it should be (T4A box 048 does not include GST collected).
For my total gross business income, TurboTax seems to just sum these two amounts. It has nowhere to specify how much GST I collected on income related to the T4A's. It seems to be summing (Professional Fees including GST + T4A income which don't include GST) for box 3H, which is supposed to be post-GST for everything, including GST on the T4A income. But there's nowhere to enter the GST that was collected specifically on the T4A part of the income.
The gross income that includes GST for both the T4A income and non-T4A income is supposed to be included in box 3H of the T2125 form. Because TurboTax never asks me what tax was collected specifically on the T4A income, it has no way to calculate this number correctly.
I understand that I can enter the total GST I collected in TurboTax, including the amount collected from T4A's. However, this number (input on 3I in the T2125 form) then gets subtracted from 3H - but 3H is incorrect because Turbotax never had anywhere to enter the GST part of the gross value for T4A part of 3H. So that also means that the final total (line 8000) of the T2125 will be incorrect.
Am I missing something?
If you are collecting taxes on your self-employed or business income, are you claiming input tax credits (ITC) for GST/HST paid on expenses? If so, you do not need to enter the amount on your return with taxes but before taxes. If you are not claiming the taxes throughout the year, than you must include your self-employed or business income and expenses with taxes.
If you received a T4A (box 48) and it does not include the taxes but you did charge taxes, I would suggest entering the amount of taxes in the T2125 box 3H and this will add to your amount on your T4A.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for choosing TurboTax
