All I have to report for the year is employment income, but TurboTax keeps saying that 'based on what you told us, it doesn't include the forms you need'.

All I have to report for the year is employment income, but TurboTax keeps saying that 'based on what you told us, it doesn't include the forms you need'.

If you've entered an amount from any of the boxes on the slips listed here, you have what 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.

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
