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

A self employed person has a CPT-16 exemption from Canada Pension Plan due to religious reasons.  How do you enter that so Turbotax calculates correctly

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.
