How can I entered the CPP Death Benefit in form T3 on Turbotax? CRA says to enter the Death Benefit in line 19 however, line 19 is not on the T3

Line 19 appears on the hard copy version of form T3 on the CRA website, so why does it not appear on the T3?

The CRA guide is referring to Line 19 of a T3 return (not a T3 slip).

T3 returns (Trust Income Tax and Information Return) are different than the final return. T3 returns cannot be prepared with TurboTax as they are Estate returns, not personal tax returns. Here's a link for more details: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/life-events/what-when-someone-died/...
