Where do I enter the 15% deduction from my US social security? I can't find line 115 on the stupid on-line download version.

I’m sorry hear you hare having this problem. The amount on line 115 feeds in from multiple places, such as the T4A slip, the T3 slip, and other places that contain pension information.

For U.S. Social Security, you would need to use the Foreign Income page. The fastest way to get there would be to use the “Find” tool in the blue bar on the top right corner. Click “Find” and search for “Foreign Income”, then select it from the list and click on the “Go” button.

Then click on “Enter Foreign Income”. On the “Foreign Slip” page there are two lines for U.S. social security benefits. Use the one that matches your situation. Enter amounts in U.S. dollars and enter the exchange rate in the box provided. TurboTax converts the amount to Canadian dollars for you.

Click “Done with Foreign Income” to save the information you have entered.
