Hi. Just wondering how to add a foreign "EI benefits". Paid by government, there is no tax on the income. Every time I add it as a foreign income with no tax being paid, TurboTax adds a tax on it. 

Thanks.

    You may want to double check the tax treaty that Canada has with that foreign country, as usually only certain pensions and certain investment income is exempt from taxes in Canada.
