How can I avoid splitting the tax deducted on pension income. I used pension income splitting which then automatically split the tax deducted on that pension.

The pension splitting optimizer automatically splits the tax deducted. I cannot change it.

Hi

 

When splitting the pension income, you have to split the taxes as well. You will not be able to avoid this step.

For further information on pension splitting, please check this link https://turbotax.intuit.ca/tips/understanding-pension-income-splitting-for-seniors-5521

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
