Getting started

The 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 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)

If you have an amount in any of these boxes, TurboTax will ask additional questions to report the income as self-employment/business income. Also, in TurboTax Do It Yourself (Online), rental income is only supported in the Self-Employed version.

The version of TurboTax Do It Yourself (Online) that you are using is shown in multiple places, including at the beginning of starting a completely new return and Order Summary. If you transfer a return from the previous year, it will start off with whatever version you used in that year (though you have the option to change it).
