Question

How do I stick to Deluxe version when Turbo Tax keeps wrongly insisting I upgrade to Self-Employed?

I was not self-employed, and did not check off anything other than that I have a T4, yet Turbo Tax insists I upgrade to the self-employed version before I continue. I can't see what I could possibly have checked to indicate self-employment.

    TurboTax could be telling you that you are self-employed because you have income in certain boxes on slips. For example, if you have any amount in box 20 or 48 of a T4A, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) says that income would be self-employment income.

     

    Or TurboTax can be showing that you are self-employed if you transferred your information from your 2019 tax return.  

    For more information, please see the TurboTax FAQ: Why did I have to upgrade my TurboTax Online edition?
