Question

I'm filing my taxes separately from my husband who's self-employed, but Turbotax is forcing me to upgrade from TurboTax Deluxe to "generate more forms" that I don't need.

My husband will be using a personal accountant outside of Turbo Tax so I don't need the additional forms for self-employed income when I'm not self-employed.

    Do you happen to have a T4A with box 48 filled out? If yes, CRA considers you to be self-employed. If yes, you will enter your name as the business name and your home address as the business address. 

     

    Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

    Hi,

    No, as I said, I don't have anything that makes me a contractor. I did have carry over losses from a previous year from the stock market. That's the only way I could see it request me to upgrade my subscription? How do I overwrite it. I don't see why I need to pay twice as much forever just because I'm carrying over the losses.

     

    I do not have any T4As or anything of the sort.

    What we suggest then, would be to start your return from scratch without importing from last year.

     

    Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
