Turbotax says I must upgrade to "Self-Employed" package but neither my partner nor I are self-employed.

It says we have "communal income"? What would that be? I don't think we do.

Do you have a T3 slip on your return? If so, make that you have not entered any amounts in the box that says “Amount of communal income reported in box 26”.

 

If you have a business (self-employment), make sure you have answered NO to the question “Is this self-employment income from a communal organization…?” that is just above the Calculation of cost of goods sold section.

Neither of us is self-employed. TurboTax will not let me proceed without this upgrade, which seems to be based on something incorrect. Really annoyed.
