How to enter T4 without RL1 - Skipping the RL1 still inputs data

I live in Quebec but worked remotely for an Ontario-based company. I received a T4 but no RL1. When I enter the T4 and choose to skip the RL1 (as per instructions I've seen in this Community), TurboTax still automatically puts an amount in box A in the RL1 column and form/screen for my total employment income. So it doesn't look or feel like TurboTax has actually "skipped" my RL1 since there is still data for a RL1 there.

Should I keep that amount in the RL1 column or should I be putting the amount to 0 since I have no RL1?

Thank you for the information on what to do in the Provincial section of the return to ensure the tax transfer.

Returning to my question about the T4/RL1 section in particular, to confirm: do I maintain the amounts that TurboTax automatically transfers into the RL1 column and form, or do I manually delete those?

Yes you leave the information and do not delete it. Click on skip and Continue.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

I am in the same situation. I manually deleted the information in Releve 1 for the income earned from an Ontario employer, but the software flags it as an error and my refund seems way too big.

@challmich1 1 In the Provincial section of your return- Your Other Québec Credits Profile - you will check off the box "Tax transfer for residents of Québec who earned income in another province and from which federal tax was deducted" Continue- Tax Transfer for Residents of Québec- on this page you will enter Income tax deducted by employers outside Québec. This step is crucial so that you don't get a big refund on the federal side and owe a lot on the Provincial side.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
