I started receiving CPP in September 2023 just after turning 65. I had no trouble filling in my 2023 tax return in Turbotax Canada 2023. I have not worked for several years and have not paid CPP premiums for many years. Turbotax Canada 2023 did not make me pay any CPP premiums for the 2023 tax year.
I am trying to fill in my 2024 tax return in Turbotax Canada 2024 and the software keeps insisting that I pay CPP premiums. I do have 1 rental unit (rented since 2010) that provides me with a small amount of rental income but that's it. How do I stop having CPP premiums added to my 2024 tax return bill? I've looked at Schedule 8 and the Pension worksheet and other forms. Nothing seems to work. I checked and according to CRA, a single rental unit's income would not be considered "self-employed income".
