A Canadian investor needs to file hundreds of T5008 slips but TurboTax doesn't support autofill, forcing manual entry or hiring an accountant, while also dealing with inaccurate brokerage data.
TurboTax lacks autofill for bulk T5008 slip entry, making manual entry impractical for hundreds of slips, and brokerage reports contain errors that require manual verification and adjustment.
