T4A 048 Business vs Professional Fees

I’m adding new T4As and there are 2 spots for line 048. “Business fees” and “professional fees”. What’s the difference between these? How do I know which box to use?

T4A 048 Business vs Professional Fees

For tax purposes, "Professional" means that you were a Lawyer, Engineer, Notary, Veterinarian, Chartered or certified accountant, Physician, Bookkeeper, Surgeon, Architect, Chiropractor, or Psychologist. If you are one of those, enter your box 048 amount as "Profession Fees".  For other professions or businesses, you would enter your box 048 amount as "Business Fees".

 

FYI: When you enter an amount on (either) box 048 of a T4A, then TurboTax will automatically create a business form (T2125) for this amount.
