Why does this sytem think I am self-employed? I'm retired fully and so is my wife. What do I have to do to get rid of the self-employed and work related expense?

In the questionnaire at the beginning, I did not indicate that either of us had employment income. I don't understand why it continues to accuse me of being employed.

Although you may not be self employed, TurboTax is taking extra steps to ensure you have access to the right tools and support specific to your tax needs.

If you've entered an amount from any of the boxes on the slips listed here, you have what the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) considers 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 selected Yes to the question Does the income declared in Box 028 consist of fees collected for services you provided? in TurboTax Online (needs to say NO to indicate no self-employment)
T3 slip: box 24 (foreign business income)

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
