My wife got EI on mat leave and I was employed, we had no self-employment income or expenses or communal income. Why is it forcing me to upgrade to self-employed?

Although you may not have self-employment income, TurboTax is taking extra steps to ensure you have access to the right tools and support specific to your tax needs.

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)

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
