My T4A was autofilled to my return through the CRA download but when I fill out the self employment section and manually add the amount of income it doubles the income amount. If I leave it blank the income amount in box 48 does not register at all as if no T4A existed. The final result is a refund when I know I owe tax on the box 48 amount.
In the online edition of the software, once you have entered your T4A box 48, it brings you to the next page asking if you have self-employment income to enter you say "yes" then move through the additional screens, you will get to the screens shown below:
Screen one is your SE entries, where it shows you the amount from your T4A box 48 when applied
Screen two is the Detailed Tax Summary page that shows you the entry for that slip.
You do not need to enter it on the SE screen, it automatically applies when you enter the T4A box 48.
Same applies when you use the downloaded version of the software.
I have a similar question. I am not self-employed so I did not check any box. I did Charity work and recieved a T4A - filled out box 48 in the correct program area, but nothing filtered thru to box 13500 automatically. This got caught by CRA, now I have more income and a penalty. Was there a question I should've answered differently? Nothing came up as an error?
