If you’ve reported amounts in the Donations and Gifts section that aren’t appearing on your Schedule 9, it means you don’t get a tax benefit from claiming them this year. The optimizer has carried them forward to a future year instead.

If you would rather claim them this year, follow these instructions:

1. Log into my.wealthsimple.comand sign in to your Tax profile
2. Select Summary on the left-hand side of your screen 
3. Select the Credits and Deductions to expand the table
4. Enter the amount you want to claim this year
5. Lock it in by clicking the lock icon on the right

You can see the unused amount in the Unused Amounts Available to Carry Forward table.
