You will see the following error message in H&R Block’s 2016 tax software if you indicated on the T1212: Statement of Deferred Security Options Benefits form that you had benefits that can no longer be deferred in the year but did not complete the related section in Schedule 3: Capital gains (or losses) in 2016:

You need to complete the Mutual fund units and other shares including publicly traded shares section in the Schedule 3 because you entered benefits that can no longer be deferred (in the T1212 form). [error code: 188]

How do I fix this?

To correct this error, complete the Mutual fund units and other shares including publicly traded shares section in Schedule 3.

Note: The Schedule 3 form can be found under the PENSION PLAN AND INVESTMENTS icon of the PREPARE tab and form T1212 can be found under the EMPLOYMENT icon of the PREPARE tab.
