How do I find where the Other Amounts figure comes from in Credits and Deductions?

[jerryplotnick]

I downloaded my slips from CRA and there is a figure of $1,146 under Other Amounts credit in the Credits and Deductions summary. There seems to be no way of finding how that amount got into my return.

The credit you are seeing is probably the Canada employment amount which is a non-refundable tax credit.  Turbo Tax automatically calculates and applies this credit based on the amount of employment income you are reporting.  For more info, please see http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/ncm-tx/rtrn/cmpltng/ddctns/lns360-390/363-eng.html
