T4A is automatically importing and applying to incorrect business

I have had this issue three years in a row. I am self-employed and I have three sources of self-employed income. One is a business partnership, one is work as a regulated health professional (GST exempt) and one is consultancy work. One of the businesses I provide consultancy work for issues T4A slips providing a total of how much work I was paid for in the year. However, when I import it, or even enter it manually, it adds the income to the first business on my self-employed list, which is the partnership business. This is incorrect. I have searched high and low for a manual way to change this and assign it to my consultancy business, and I cannot find a way. The last two years I just deleted the T4A and entered the income as income under self-employment, without the T4A. However, I always worry this will get flagged by the CRA, since the T4A exists in their system based on the company who issued it. Any help would be much appreciated.

T4A is automatically importing and applying to incorrect business

There is no way to pick which business the T4A will land on. You can try removing everything, then re-enter the T4A, and then use the business that the T4A auto creates for the consultancy work.
