Is Intuit ever going to increase the number of lines available for the T1135 form?

The ability to file form T1135 is useless for anyone who can't do the simplified version and who has more than three lines worth of securities to add. There is no way that I can find to add more lines, and I see several years of complaints.

As it stands now, I have to print out the **bleep** form and mail it. This is both ridiculous and highly frustrating.

I have passed on your comments & suggestions to our product development team.

Thank you for your input.

This has not yet been addressed in the download and it is April 2023. This makes TurboTax incomplete as it is unable to complete Netfile.

@noodle As I said above, I have forwarded a request to add extra lines to the T1135 form to our development team. However, a request like this, if it is acted upon, likely will not be completed this tax season.

In the meantime, you can try combining items if possible. Or you can NETFILE your T1 return and then print and mail your T1135 using the forms on the CRA website, and attach any extra forms that you need (the CRA form also only has limited lines).

Similar to others, I had to paper-file the T1135 form back in April due to the limited lines available in the detailed investments section.

Now, I am attempting Netfile the T1 return itself and it is telling me I can't because I must fix the errors of omitted information on T1135!! It is saying I must paper-file the T1 return.

Can someone please indicate the work around that will allow me to Netfile the T1 return. And can TurboTax PLEASE fix this issue for 2023. It is inexcusable for an other-wise efficient and user-friendly product.

Thank you.

This issue is worse than described. I don't even have the option of electronically filing my main return and mailing in the T1135. Because I've indicated that I have more than $100k in foreign holdings, the program will not let me file without completing the T1135, and I cannot complete the T1135 correctly because of the line limitation. This is completely unacceptable.

I have faced the exact same situation you described for years and hence my post on this forum on February 6, 2024, that started this thread. The only option you have is to combine your holdings in each category into the three available lines of the TurboTax T1135 form and to netfile your T1 return and the T1135 as is. Then download a T1135 from CRA and complete this form properly, adding as many lines as you need. Make sure the total amounts on the TurboTax T1135 you netfiled match the total amounts on your CRA copy. Then mail in the latter to the CRA with a letter explaining that this T1135 amendment was necessary due to shortcomings of the TurboTax sofware. I have never had any follow-ups or inquiries from CRA.

As the responses from the TurboTax moderators to my questions and those of other members did not give me the confidence that this extra lines issue will be fixed anytime, I have finally taken the step to switch to the other tax software, which allows for at least 15 additional lines (and probably many more).

I have the exact same problem. This has gone on for several years. Have been filing the tax electronically, and manually producing the T1135 using CRA's fillable PDF form. I need to the the detailed method, and have 8 different equities to report in section 2 shares of non-resident corporations. Have purchased Ufile desktop, and was able to successfully do the form there. Starting this year, I will be reporting using Ufile, so I can file both the return and T1135 electronically. I will no longer be buying turbotax desktop.
