T5008 Validation Error

I have TT Desktop Premier and have over 340 T5008 individual entries. 

 

After uploading the data from the CRA, I entered in "Forms" view , under the T-Slips Entry box all the T5008 actual disposition dates and tagged the entries as capital gains.  I reconciled the amounts that are on Schedule 3 and T936 to my T5008s and T3s show up correctly and in the right periods.

 

However.... when I do the review, I get (and keep getting) this error:

 

"Number of errors: 1"

"To accurately calculate your capital gains, you need to enter a date of disposition in 2024 on your T5008 slip(s)."

 

I visually checked and double-checked the dates and time of can't seem to get pass this error.

 

A)  Any ideas why this is happening?

B)  Couldn't TT point me to which of the individual T5008 entry is incorrect?

T5008 Validation Error

I figured it out....

 

Instead of entering the actual disposition dates for each entry, I entered 01/01/2024 for each entry.

 

Bingo, validation error gone and Netfile completed successfully.

 

While I was able to get around the problem, this problem should have never happened if the underlying coding had been done correctly by TT. 

 

Not impressed.
