I've been trying to figure out what to put in the gst/hst section, and when I check here for answers it's not giving me permission to view.. So I'll ask.

I filed my GST/HST on the government site, what information to I put in the GST/HST Collected section of my filing on turbotax?

Sorry if my wording is confusing, this is my first year filing as a business with a GST/HST number.

You would enter the total GST/HST collected or collectible from your GST/HST return, plus the addition info that's asked for if you used quick method.

Would this be the same amount I filed on my CRA business filing?

Be careful:

In 2024, I had income for as both "Self employed" and T4A (Self employed) over $30,000

I fill in and pay GST/PST separately on Quebec gov web site

In 2024, I collected $17,400 in GST, PST total.

In business section, I answered "I collected GST/HST and QST this year"

then:
"Your GST/HST and QST info - Enter the total GST/HST and QST collected or collectible from your GST/HST and QST return."

If I enter zero here:

Line 13700 "Professional income" increases by $17,400 and taxes payable increase as well.

If I enter actual GST/PST collected, professional income falls to expected value.

Contrary to advice provided here (Aniqua) , if you enter zero, it looks like Turbo tax is calculating GST/PST for you.

If in business section, I answered "I collected GST/HST and QST this year" = No,
Program still calculates GST/PST and adds it as income.

Can administrator please verify earlier statement.

And maybe Turbo tax can modify wording and explanations for this situation?

@mortimer If you are registered for GST/HST, then you don't include sales tax in your income or your expenses. You only enter it when it asks "Enter the total GST/HST collected or collectible from your GST/HST return.". That amount will automatically subtracted from your gross income.
