Why is the program calculating CPP on self employment when I am already drawing CPP benefits?

Without knowing your age or specific situation is it possible you are between 60-65?

The CRA says: CPP contributions are mandatory for working CPP retirement pension recipients under age 65.

You can read more about CPP rules from the CRA here:
