T4A and payment in box 48

[brent-rawling]

My Wife received a T4A with what appears to be the amount she was paid in box 48 Business Fees. Is this normal I would think it would be under other income or something similar.
any input is welcome

Your wife was a subcontractor.  This is self employment income, and will be reported as such.

reporting as self employment also means she may be able to deduct eligible expenses, thus reducing the tax hit.
