In my deductions summary there is an amount reflected under "Deduction for CPP/QPP/PPIP. where does this amount come from?

Line 22200 - Deduction for CPP or QPP contributions on self-employment and other earnings.  

 

Here is the link to CRA- https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-return/completing-a-tax-return/deductions-credits-expenses/line-22200-deduction-cpp-qpp-contributions-on-self-employment-other-earnings/line-22200-calculating-your-contributions.html

If it's the same problem as mine, the summary shows it as "Deduction for CPP/QPP/PPIP (self-empl.)", but I don't think that's correct.  If you check in the detailed tax summary (Menu item: Review > Bottom Line (Tax Summary) then find a link for "Detailed Tax Summary" halfway down the page), it's actually getting that amount from line 22215: "Deduction for CPP/QPP enhanced contributions on employment income".

 

Revenue Agency link for line 22215 

As of 2019, you can claim a deduction for the enhanced contributions on CPP and QPP pensionable earnings you contributed through your employment income.

Whether you contributed to the CPP or QPP, the maximum allowable claim is $80.85.

CPP contributions were amended in 2019 and succeeding years for regular employment. The increases in the CPP contribution above the %4.95 rate can be claimed as a deduction with some conditions. If you have a T4, a portion of the CPP contribution may be qualified as a deduction.

I hope this was helpful

 

 

The "Deduction for CPP/QPP/PPIP" amount is NOT carried forward from previous years.  There are no calculations involved, BUT the amount should show in the Detailed Summary when comparing current year to the past year....
