EI Agreements for self=employments

2020 I was self-employed, but was unemployed for a little bit. 

For 2019 I was employed but was then laid off. Naturally, I collected EI.

 

I didn't set up a self-employment agreement with the CRA before collecting EI for self-employment. 

When I called them they said that I didn't need one as I could use the remaining weeks on my previous EI claim. So I did. 

 

The problem is that it doesn't seem like there's an option to claim that with TurboTax. 

Right now, it says that I cannot submit my taxes as I didn't set up a self-employment agreement. 

I'm wondering if this is something I can clear up with TurboTax or if I need to call the CRA again.

Due to the variables involved in answering this question, please see our TurboTax article: CPP and EI Considerations For Self-Employed Canadians.

 

For further direction please contact the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)
