Question

Where do I enter the T4A info for self-employed income? The income page of the self employed section won't let me change the T4A slip amount. It just stays at $0.00

I know where the T4A section is in Income, but when I enter the T4A there, it doesn't link it to the self employed section to be connected to the business and its expenses.

    You need to enter the income on the T4A slip page. Then TurboTax will automatically create a business page for that T4A. If you have another business page filled out already, then just put the basic info on the T4A business page. The income and expenses from the two businesses will be combined into one net self-employment figure.

    Do I really need to upgrade and pay $120.00 if I have a T4A?

     If you receive a T4A with amounts reported in Box 20 or Box 48, it means that you have earned self-employment income. Therefore, you will be considered self-employed for tax purposes. If this is the case, you will need to upgrade to the self-employed version of TurboTax to accurately report your income and expenses.

    I have used TurboTax Deluxe for more than a decade.  I have always reported Self Employed, Professional Income.  I have NO expenses and have no need to complete any forms for write-offs.  Why am I now being forced to upgrade to self-employed Turbotax when all I want to do is enter the income on line 10400?

    My T4A details won't populate to my self employment income. Why is this happening?

    @ezgi Please go to the Self-Employment Summary page and check if it is going onto another business. If it is, you can just fill in the basic info into the T4A slip one, if you have already entered information into the one you are looking at right now.

    It was indeed going to another business, thank you!
