Why does turbo tax make me upgrade to enter my union dues?

It's important to note that claiming union dues can be complex, and it's important to ensure that you meet all the requirements and guidelines set out by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to claim these expenses correctly. Upgrading to a higher version of TurboTax can help you navigate these requirements and ensure that you're claiming all the deductions you're entitled to.

This year, TurboTax is taking extra steps to ensure that Canadians have access to the features that will help them get the best tax outcome by broadening its product line up and directing users to the version of TurboTax that aligns with their tax situation. We’ve expanded our lineup and tailored each version of TurboTax to address the complexity of various levels of filers. This year, when you file with TurboTax, you will be directed to the version that best suits your needs based on complexity, to ensure you are getting the best possible tax outcome for the best value. 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
