FHSA deduction not showing up (Tax year 2025)

[ckchow]

I have entered FHSA contribution of $8000 through T4FHSA but it didn't show up as deduction in Registered Savings Plans Summary.  Instead, the amount is carried forward to next year, which is not what I wanted.  I tried to enter in Schedule 15, line 57, but it was marked as calulated value.  I called Turbotax support and shared screen, but the product specialist is not able to help.  She told me to pay $75 for "Assist & Review" in order to get help from "Expert", which I think is ridiculous...maybe the experts here can help!

Did you enter the amount of the deduction that you want to claim in the line between 56 & 57?

It works!  Thank you so much!

Just wondering...

1) Should the wordings in Easy Step be more clear? It sounds like if you are claiming for the max, nothing needs to be enter. Maybe it's just me.

2)  The "product specialist" answering my call should learn from you, and not making me re-entering everything re FHSA and not able to state the thing I missed.

Thanks again for your help!

The previous solution did not work for me. In the FHSA summary under "FHSA contributions for 2025 less withdrawals" it shows a zero amount. In the same section for 2024 it shows the correct amount. Also in the detailed tax summary it shows the correct amount. But it concerns me that the 2025 FHSA summary is not correct.

@user17720738631 Sometimes TurboTax records the contribution but doesn't automatically apply the deduction for the current year (it might assume you want to carry it forward).

Let's check a few things: 

Go back to the FHSA section in the interview.

Look for a screen that asks: "How much of your FHSA contribution do you want to deduct this year?"

Ensure the full $8,000 is entered in the "Amount to claim" box. If this is blank, the summary will show $0, even if the T4FHSA is present.

If you are using the CD/download version of TurboTax, the summary pages sometimes fail to refresh even after the data is updated.

Switch to Forms Mode (bottom left or top menu).

Open Schedule 15.

Make a tiny change (e.g., delete one digit of the $8,000 and retype it). This often forces the software to "recalculate" all linked summary fields.

Switch back to EasyStep and check the summary again.

You mentioned it worked in 2024. In 2025, TurboTax updated its flow to better handle carry-forwards.

Check if you have accidentally indicated that you are a "First-Time Home Buyer" who made a qualifying withdrawal in 2025.

I hope this helps!

Thankyou for your suggestions. I tried each one in turn and unfortunately they did not work. The detailed tax summary is correct (it always has been). It is just that one line in the FHSA summary  - "FHSA contributions for 2025 less withdrawals" being zero - that is concerning me. It looks like this: 

FHSA summary
FHSA contributions for 2025 less withdrawals	0.00
Maximum FHSA deduction available for 2025	8,000.00
2025 FHSA deduction	8,000.00
Unused FHSA contributions carried forward to future year	0.00
Qualifying withdrawals made in 2025	0.00

@user17720738631 If you go into Forms Mode, and look at Schedule 15, is the contribution showing on line 68935?
