Turbo tax used the 80% rate for my Tl2 form instead of the 50% rate. Now I owe the cra 6700$ for the difference. Software never asked which rate to use.
Are you a short-haul truck driver? If yes, you need to claim the 50% and make sure that you enter your information in the proper area on the tax software for short-haul drivers and not the long-haul. This could have made a difference. Please review your tax return and verify where you entered the amounts that you were able to claim.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
No I am not a truck driver. I’m a railway employee and it never gives the option to choose this. It automatically generated the 80% which now put me way in the hole now. Will turbo tax cover any of this?
On TurboTax when you enter your information on the page "Trip Details for Short-haul Truck Drivers and Other Transport Employees" it specifies on the bottom- ** this applies only to claims that railway employees make. Enter your class of service (for example, engineer, maintenance worker, conductor, machine operator, maintenance-of-way employee). It asks you to enter your classification- Can you please verify that everything was entered correctly?
