My T5008 only shows proceeds of the disposition. Do I input the book values myself? Should this be done also in the Capital Gains/ Losses section?

I have capital losses, but will they be calculated twice if I fill out the book values of the T5008 and show them in the capita losses section?

If you know the book values, then yes, enter those yourself.  The Capital Gain section is for people who tend to do their own buying and selling, and do not receive the T5008, so if you report the amounts from the T5008 in the Capital Gains section it will double the income/loss.

If you do not know the book value, you will need to contact the investment broker to get the information.
