I have a NETFILE error, related to form 776 CCA. I filled in 0 days because none of my rentals were short term. How can I override the error to file with NETFILE?

This form shouldn't even be applicable to my situation since its asking about short term rental, but none of my rentals were short term. It says on TurboTax to put 0 days if it is 0 days non compliant but the error still persists and does not let me fix/override it.

@An613 To send a private message, when you are in Community, you have to look at the top right corner of the page, click on the envelop.

As I explained, if you enter zero (0), IT IS view as a value. You have to delete this. If you did not do short-term rental you don't have to enter anything there.

Click on Edit when you are on your Rental Profile make sure the question about non-compliant is selected // in Rental income, make sure to delete what is in the Gross rents for short-term rentals AND the question Was any of this income earned from cryptoassets? is NO.

InT776 Rental Expenses page, Delete everything in the column Portion of expenses from short-term rentals (go through each field and delete - DON'T put any zero - the system will put his own)

On page T776 - Non-compliant amount of expenses and CCA for short-term rentals, REMOVE everything in the fields (it needs to be empty) for both Total short-term rental expenses AND Total available CCA

When these steps are completed, on Rental summary page, click Edit and remove the checkmark on Rental expenses or CCA for non-compliant short-term rental properties AND click continue.

This should fix your error.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

I followed all your instructions, removed all the zeros and left expenses blank. went back to summary and removed the check on "non-compliant short-term rentals". I still get an error and cannot Netfile.

I cannot remove the Zero from "Total expenses" or "Total available CCA" as TurboTax puts it in and it is not a field that I can edit.

Have you any other suggestions or can you fix your software, because I cannot fix the error.

Seems that no one else can either, so it's not just that I am doing something wrong.

Did you enter that your units were Non-compliant for Zero days, or that they were short term rentals for Zero days?

Yes, entering 0 does not do anything. Both employees I spoke to thought it was an issue with the TurboTax software.

Same here. Very frustrating. My rentals are all long term, no short term rentals. I tried entering 0 for everything, still says an error and can't Netfile. I want my money back.

Same for me, I am receiving the msg: "You have selected one or more CCA classes for the non-compliant short-term expenses that were not reported in capital cost allowance assets for rental. Please review your selection".

I was able to solve it with trial and error ( a lot of filling and deleting of zeros in those silly tables) for my wife, but the trick is not working for me, already wasted 3 hours of my time. It seems to be a technical glitch with TurboTax from the additional Charts A & B on the 6th page of T776.

@soheilfada The message you are receiving about Non-compliant short-term, is something new from CRA in Rental income, and probably you selected it by mistake or filled some information in this specific section.

If you are using TurboTax Online, from 2024 tax return (left menu), click on Incomes // Rental property. If you have a rental property listed, click on Edit // In rental Profile You have the Rental expenses or CCA for non-compliant short-term rental properties.

Before uncheck it, please make sure in the following pages you don't have any information entered for this in pages:

T776 Rental Income
T776 Rental Expenses
T776 - Non-compliant amount of expenses and CCA for short-term rentals

After you confirmed all information related to Non-compliant short-term are removed, go back on Rental Summary, click Edit and uncheck the box.

For your information, this needs to be selected if you’re claiming expenses or CCA for a short-term rental (less than 90 consecutive days) that was not compliant with provincial or municipal rules for any amount of time during the tax year.

Not compliant means that the province or municipality doesn’t allow short-term rentals in your location, or you didn’t have all the required registration, licensing, or permits to operate the short-term rental.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

I did *not* click this box by mistake. I have gone back and confirmed that this box is *not* checked. But I still get the error message and cannot NETfile.

Any resolution on this one? I've removed all values from the short term rental fields as our property has never been a short term rental, but still receive the error. I'm unable to netfile until this is resolved.

If you have a partner/spouse, you also need to remove from his/her part too.

The issue is most likely with the CCA portion. I just scrolled to the bottom where it asks for CCA info, pressed the trash can beside any info there and continued on and it let me submit without errors.

I have the same thing and I can’t file my taxes. It seems like turbo tax can’t differentiate between short term and long term taxes.

Blank out any values in any short-term rental fields. Save the return. Go back to rental summary page where you select checkboxes. Do not check the bottom checkbox. Go through your rental revenue/expenses pages - do not enter any values in any of the short-term rental fields (if you only have a long term rental). Then, IF you get the non-compliance CCA screen appearing, do not enter any values, just click "continue".
