We appreciate you choosing TurboTax.

 

You can log into My Account for Individuals to import all your tax slips. To learn more about how to import tax slips please view our TurboTax article: Auto-fill my return – T-Slips

 

As per our TurboTax article Your Complete Guide to the T4A Tax Slip

Box 20 – Self Employed Commissions or Box 48 – Fees for Services

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. You’re either a contractor or you’ve earned income from commission-based activities.

Having a T4A with Box 20 or 48 means that you’re required to complete a bit of extra info at tax time. Since you’re self-employed, you’ll complete the business form T2125 – Statement of Business Activities. The upside is you can also claim expenses to offset that income on that form. More information can be found in this TurboTax article: Guidelines for reporting Self-Employment Income.

 

For additional information please see our TurboTax article Guidelines for Reporting Self-Employment Income.
