Not enough space in box for information

[Thinker]

Under the Staycation section, there's not enough room in the box "Name and Address of Facility" to fill in the name and address of any camping grounds (or a hotel for that matter). The box ends, won't allow anymore characters! Some names are long, and a proper address requires street, city, postal code. I can barely get half my info from the reciept in before the box ends and stops accepting characters. What can I do to solve this?? I know the Revenue Canada will require the full name and address! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I don't want my claims to be rejected becasue UFile doesn't give me enough space for the required info!

Hello. Thanks for the reply. So would my next step be to contact CRA to ask what to do? Definitely read in the guide I need the name and address of the facility and I can't fit it in.
