I went through my return as usual, but for my on call stipend, my T4A reported the amount in Box 28, and indicated "NO" when asked for box 28 if it was fees for service, and in the review section, I'm being given the warning "Your province of self-employment is different from your province of residence. TTO does not support Multijurisdictional returns. Review your entries."
Should I ignore this warning and continue with filing? I was not self-employed and am not registered as a business, this is a lump-sum payment received for on-call services required during 4th year of medical school.
Any income from the stipend or training programs is considered taxable income. Although, you can offset the taxable income with any expenses incurred that were related to the training program.
If it is a Warning and not an Error, then it can be ignored and skipped. The Warning alert does not automatically mean something was done or entered incorrectly. It can be triggered if a high amount of certain credits or deductions are being claimed. Click on Review to verify that the right amount has been entered by clicking on "Applies to me". Once reviewed you can click "Done with warnings" and return to your review.
Warnings are there just to ensure that if the situation applies to you, you can go back and make any necessary modifications.
Errors, on the other hand, will prevent you from filing because something in your return is incorrect and the return will not be accepted by the Canada Revenue Agency.

It's showing as an Error, but it also has the option to skip the error - Is this a TurboTax issue? Or do I need to contact the T4A issuer, as I was NOT self employed, but TTO is convinced I am because of the entry in Box 28
