Basic Personal Amount prorated incorrectly

[skwqAVNIbQ]

I lived in Canada for less that six months and made less than $15000 during that time. I moved and made no money the rest of the year. TurboTax is prorating my Basic Personal Amount even though more than 90% of my income came from Canada. How do I fix this? I am using the online version. I read that I can override this in the paid desktop version, but I see no reason to pay for this just to correct TurboTax's miscalculation.

Hi @skwqAVNIbQ 
Please review the CRA's instructions on how to calculate "Federal non-refundable tax credits for newcomers and emigrants"

I would also review your dates of entry and exit in Canada, which could basically change the amount. Verify amounts for your income for the time that you lived in Canada and outside of Canada.

Hope you have a good day!

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has recently revised its interpretation regarding non-refundable tax credits for part year residents to Canada. Taxpayers who declare zero income, from both foreign or Canadian sources, for the period prior to arriving in Canada or after leaving Canada can no longer meet the 90% rule and will have their non-refundable tax credits prorated. Previously, declaring a zero income for the part of the year when not a resident of Canada entitled them to claim 100% of their non-refundable tax credits
