Question

Must I use Self Employed because I have a T4A? That’s what I’m directed to.

    If you receive a T4A with Box 20 or Box 48 amounts, you are indeed self-employed for tax purposes as both of these boxes are used exclusively to report self-employment income.

    Thank you.  Nothing on my T4A in box 20 or 48.  

     

    I contacted Intuit directly spoke to a very helpful fellow.

     

    I had uploaded all data from CRA and the system was trying to force an upgrade to Self-Employed which I am definitely not.  it wouldn’t allow me to proceed without the upgrade. 

    They had me delete and re-enter the numbers for the T4A and save and it then allowed me to proceed without upgrading.  

    So it seems perhaps there is a bug in the Turbo Tax program for those that have the data download from CRA.
