Executor fees reported in Box 48 of a T4A slip (or sometimes a T4) are considered self-employment income by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Because no taxes are typically withheld at source, you are responsible for reporting this as business income and paying the appropriate tax.

• The amount in Box 48 must be reported on Form T2125.
• In your tax software, look for "Self-employment income" or "Business Activities" and select Form T2125.
• Enter the box 48 amount as your gross income.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Thank you for your suggestion.  It helped me get further along but then I got stuck.  What industry code should I use?  I claimed as professional but cannot find industry codes.

You can look up your industry code on the Stats Can website: North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Canada 2022 Version 1.0 Or you can use the search tools on the NAICS website: NAICS & SIC Identification Tools It doesn't have to be exactly what you do, it just has to be close.
