messed up on my tax return

I was supposed to report about 5000 dollars of osap money, but I didn't see the notices until after I submitted my return to the cra. How do I fix this? I tried their return adjustment, but there's no scholarship/grant option (line 105) anymore. The form hints to put it on line 104, but this isn't employment income and I'm worried osap will see this as some other unreported income next year and penalize me.

I don't think you have much to worry about. The CRA might find an inconsistency, but even an audit wouldn't hurt you in anyway. Worst case scenario is that OSAP gives you too much money next year, and once updated they might see it as an over payment. Just don't spend the extra amount until you've repaired things. The adjustment should take about 2-weeks, give and take seasonal delays.
