Unfortunately, you cannot save a condensed version of your tax return as it is only for those who need to print and mail their returns. However, you can save your return as a PDF and the following TurboTax FAQ How do I print/save a copy of my tax return (Online version)? will provide you with instructions and steps on how to do that.
Thank you for using TurboTax.

Yes, you can claim any eligible medical expenses if they occurred in a 12-month period that ends in the current tax year . After you enter your medical expenses, TurboTax will prompt you to choose your 12-month claim period. So if most of your expenses occurred later in the year for example after April 2, 2019, you can use a 12-month period of April 2, 2019, to April 1, 2020, and claim all expenses that fall within that period. Keep in mind that you cannot claim any expenses that fall before your 12-month claim period.

Capital gains are claimed by completing schedule 3 for the current tax year to report eligible capital gains from all sources. Once calculated, 50% of the total is your taxable capital gain amount.
To calculate your capital gain, you need to know the following 3 amounts:
Proceeds of disposition (what you sold it for)
Adjusted Cost Base (what you purchased it for, plus the legal fees at the time)
Outlays and Expenses (the legal fees that were associated with the sale)
When calculating the capital gain on the sale of capital property that was made in a foreign currency convert the above amounts to Canadian dollars using the Exchange Rates.
To enter your transactions using TurboTax Online Free, follow the steps below:
On the left-hand side of your return, click on the "Income" tab.
Next, click on the "T-Slips" tab.
Scroll down and find "T5008 Securities Transactions", click on it and you should be presented with the T5008 - Summary page.
You want to click on Enter New T5008 and you should then be able to enter the information about your security transactions. Make sure the "Type of Income" box on the screen is set to Capital Gains.

Since we are not certain if the rental unit was completely empty for the year or if it was being used as a residence, it would be best for you to contact the CRA How do I contact the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)? about this matter as we do not have enough information to provide you with an answer.
