I had Self Employed Income in 2024 and when I Auto Filled my 2025 return it assumes I still have Employment Income and TurboTax charges a higher fee?

Despite have no Self Employed Income I can't change the form. Do I need to delete and enter everything from scratch?

If the self-employment income appeared after you used Auto-Fill, then check you tax slips. If you have 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. You only need to answer basic information, such as business name and address (can be your own), industry code, and fiscal period (Jan 01 to December 31).

Thanks - there was no income shown in any of the boxes. Unfortunately I ended up deleting the return and starting a new without Auto Filling information from 2024 return. This worked.

Perfect, thanks for the update. We appreciate it!
