Tracing the origin of a Turbotax calculated Investment Expense input to line 68080 of 2022 CRA tax return

[QueG]

Hi. 

It is not from investment expenses to earn property income. None such were reported anywhere in my return.

In the "Other Deductions - line 23200" the Turbotax Return states that the amount comes from "Foreign tax deduction under subsection 20(12).

The only place in my return that records foreign tax paid on investments is in the T3s and T5s.

However, the tax reported to have been paid in these forms does not match what Turbotax reports as the Foreign tax deduction - so there must be some formula applied by Turbotax to the T3/T5 taxes paid to calculate the deduction amount. This calculation is what I need to understand.

Hi.

See my earlier reply just posted.

Your return is likely different to mine, but in my case the number is stated by Turbotax  as a Foreign tax deduction under subsection 20(12)

The only place in my return where foreign taxes paid are reported is in my T3/T5s.

The trick is, however, to understand how the deduction reported by Turbotax  for Foreign tax paid is calculated as it does not match the numbers in my T3/T5s. There has to be a formula applied.... presumably Turbotax uses a CRA supplied formula in its program which spits out the deduction number.

Ok perfect. That was kind of what we figured out with the turbo tax online support. Its wierd how they calculate this number and don't just ask for it off your T5 as i did find the foreign tax paid on my T5 but it was a few cents different than the calculated number on my return. It should have a box number for this in my opinion save alot of head ache.

This is from the Cumulative Net Investment Loss form CNIL

Hi.

Thanks for your continuing interest in this matter.

Turbotax has the deduction labelled under 'Other Deductions" as "Foreign tax deduction under subsection 20(12)".

See my earlier explanation of it. As I stated, the only place where foreign tax payments are reported in my return is in the T3/T5s.

On my return it appears to be related to foreign income on my T5. When I delete the T5 that has foreign income the amount goes away. Problem is the amount on the line does not match anything on the slips. I need to know how the amount is calculated.

I have the same issue.
