If you have entered an amount from a T4A slip - Box 20 0r 48, you will need to enter some basic information on the T2125 - Statement of Business Activities in order to successfully NetFile.

This isn't helpful. The system has an industry code bug

You can search for your Industry code on this Stats Canada webpage: https://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p3VD.pl?Function=getVD&TVD=1369825

 

The codes are updated every few years and were most recently updated in 2022. So, if your code is not working, it may have changed.

The code hasn't changed, there's clearly a bug in TT software. 

Any suggestions how to overcome this? Will I be able to file my IT with this error and not be flagged by CRA if I proceed with filing?

I am receiving the same error, tried a number of different industry codes that are valid, it changes the code in the correct field but the error continues to come up.  My original code was 454110 and tried to change it to 414100

Although this post is from 2019 it will be an issue in 2023 for anyone with internet businesses.  The problem is TT does not list any codes for Non-Store business ( i.e internet business) If you change the code to something other than internet related it works.  This is definitely an error in the TT software.  I suppose the options are either change it to an incorrect code or file by mail. Seems like a pretty big oversite by intuit.  Guess I'll wait a few days and hope they update something before the 15th.
