Question

I'm not self-employed, but it suggests the self-employed option - how do I switch to the version for regular employees?

My only options to get started with my 2023 tax return are the self-employed options. It says I used self-employed last year, but that would not be something I chose.

    Did you prepare your return last year with a spouse/common law partner? Where they self-employed last year? If so, that's why TurboTax is saying you used self-employed last year.

    No, neither of us have ever been self-employed.

    The CRA considers these to be self-employment or business income:

    • T4 slip: box 81, 82 or 83
    • T4A slip: box 20 or 48
    • T4A slip: box 28 and you answered Yes to the question Does the income declared in Box 028 consist of fees collected for services you provided? in TurboTax Online
    • T3 slip: box 24 (foreign business income)
