What am I paying for with TurboTax self-employed?

[asherkaye]

I've just paid for TurboTax self-employed, but I can't even file my tax because "the required forms are unavailable". There's no info on when the forms will become available. 

Also, what am I paying for with TurboTax self-employed? Is it really charging me $50 just to enter self-employment income? If so this sounds like a rip-off to me.

What forms are unavailable? I tried filing my returns last night and the netfile option was unavailable, it was grey.  Didn't give me any error message or anything. I am using the Home and Business Desktop version.

I did the free software on a competitor last night and it was no different than TT. Charging extra money when there's no advantage to their software is crazy to me.

Hello! The CRA made available to software developers the latest version of the business income forms (T2125/T776) this morning. We plan to make them available in the next version scheduled for tomorrow (Friday) if all goes well if not in the following days.
