I logged in, did my taxes. get to the coupon code and it won't let me file my return with the Deluxe package I bought. Says I prepared it with the Turbo tax self employed

I am guessing now I will have paid for the version and can't return it. What a dirty money grab if this is the case. Those forms for self employment are government forms and should not be withheld in ANY version of the software. I should be able to file with BASIC, be self employed with every single investing form that I need to fill out to report and trading etc. SO what now? Swallow the $80 I paid for something I can't use? Way to go TurboTax...like anyone in Canada needs more money stolen from them. Guess I will be finding another software next year.

If you've entered an amount from any of the boxes on the slips listed here, you have what the Canada Revenue Agency (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 selected Yes to the question Does the income declared in Box 028 consist of fees collected for services you provided? in TurboTax Online (needs to say NO to indicate no self-employment)
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).

How do I get a refund for a TurboTax product?
