Please be sure that you have entered the amounts from your T4A in the correct boxes. You should have to enter a box 105. This will tell them that it was for scholarship, bursary or tuition.
If you receive a T4A with Box 20 or Box 48 amounts, you are indeed self-employed for tax purposes as both of these boxes are used exclusively to report self-employment income. You're either a contractor or you've earned income from commission-based activities.

Thank you for your reply. I did enter that in box 105, but it still keeps saying that I am self employed and keeps pushing me to enter the province of self employment.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) considers any amount in box 48 on the T4A slip to be self-employment or business income. So, you will need to fill out the Self-Employment section in TurboTax. You only need to enter basic information, and you can use your own information for your name and address including Province.
