Your business name is your name.  The business address is your address.  If you do not have a business number or GST/HST number leave that blank.  If you received a T4A, that amount will be indicated as your revenue...you can enter your expenses accordingly.  If you did not receive a T4A, then you will enter the revenue yourself.

As an independent contractor, you are considered self employed.

But the software is asking me to fill out T2125 and I don't have information to fill that.
