ERROR: Additional security options deduction (24901)

I actioned stock options last year. 

 

While the Canadian government planned to change capital gains deductions from 50% to 1/3rd, my company stuck with the former 50% amount. That means the full 50% deduction (box 91) is listed on my T4.

 

Now that the government has changed their plan, tax softwares need to correct any 33% deductions by adding another 16.67% (box 24901 of return).

 

However, turbotax doesn't seem to know mine is already 50%. It simply assumes a 33.33% deduction and added another deduction of 16.67% to my return that I can't find a way to override (I'm using online tool). 

 

Does anyone know what to do?

Move your amount from Box 91 -  Security Option Deduction - On or after June 25, 2024 to Box 39 - Security Option Deduction - Before June 25, 2024.
