How do you enter a CPT-16 Exemption on self employed earnings

Unfortunately, TurboTax does not have the option to opt out of for the CPT -16 for religious reasons. 

Your best option is to complete your tax return, file it and then do an adjustment with the CRA.

Here is the form you would need to fill out, if not already done.
